Hi Tiger67
Many thanks for your reply and interest, it was a surprise to get a reply after all this time. However, this isnt the person I am looking for. My Henry was born 1839 and then went into the army when he was 17. Serving in the Crimean War and then the Indian Uprising and returning to Bath England. I have his obituary from the Bath Chronicle which gives details of hs life from the age of 17.
However, as we dont know anything of his life before 17, do you think that the info you have just given me could be him?




He would have had to be 14 in 1853?


Oh! this is a puzzle. Also after much searching from many of us we have all come to the conclusion that he must have been illegitimate.
Once again many thanks
Helenna
