Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[FeeJay]

Hi Kev
I wonder if you could help with a rather vague question. I'm researching my husband's family as well as my own and have a problem finding one man.

This man's surname was Lee but we have no idea of his first. Legend has it that this man was a sergeant in the Norfolk regiment and was in the Crimea (around 1855 so I'm told.) He was from Great Yarmouth if that helps.

Thanks
FeeJay

Hi everyone,

The reason i haven't been replying (apart from the fact quite busy) is if you read this thread most of the info i have is available online:

Indian Mutiny Medal List:

Crimean War Casualty List:

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/heatherasplin/home2.html

So PLEASE look for yourself were ever possible.

I will try to look for the Indian Mutiny casualty requests, but without a regiment i can't do it.

Sue:without a regiment , wont find him sorry.(unless i get 3 hours to spare to look through all 200 pages) try the mutiny medal list as it is alphabetical.

JF : checked Indian Mutiny and hes not listed under 71st foot(1st battalion Highland light infantry) , you can check Crimea through the link(have you checked overseas death records available at 1837online or familyrelatives sites)

FeeJay: The Norfolks were the 9th regiment of foot in the Crimea.

Hi Kev,

       Please can you look for Frederick Mead [Meades] 2nd Bn Rifle Brigade
Army No. 3861. Crimea & Idian Mutiny. I have reason to believe that he was wounded but not sure where.

                     Many thanks,

                             Mistyrose

Hi Kev

I am looking for Patrick Foley born Dublin between 1834 and 1840 possibly of the 2nd Bengal Fusiliers, 104th Foot Regiment, 109th Foot Regiment or Royal Munster Fusiliers. I know he served in Bengal possibly between 1850-1881.

Thanks

Margaret

James Olley 1832-1920 -Charge of the Light Brigade participant.

I believe he was in the 4th Light Dragoon & was in hospital at Scutari(he claimed to have been nursed there by Florence Nightingale).

There was a article in the Dereham & Fakenham Times Jan 1888 where he gave an account of his experience.

Also at Brompton Barracks March 1855 he met Queen Victoria & received a gift of gloves,stockings etc.

Please can you look in your list to see if he is there.

Cheers

Hi, I have a John Petherick Harris who was in the coldsteam guards during the crimean war. He had a bible signed by Florence Nightingale, unsure if he met  her because he was injured or if he met her through some other means. Thank you for your time
