Hi Gadget and Mongoose,

The name "Wathen" came from the parent/child search on IGI, I posted it without seeing the post with certificate on it. When I look at certificate looks like Nathen to me.

I started out as Nathen and you convinced me it was Wathen - what a pair

Hi Gadget,

I cannot find anything for Nathen or Wathen, I suspect she maybe an Army daughter, and maybe had been posted in Dublin.

Moongoose,

I checked out picture again and saw the Cornet & Adjt G Gardener, I wonder if Private Gardner was related. Did you know about the Charge of the Light Brigade connection? It never happens to me on my searches. I maybe get the odd convict sent to Australia or Bigamist, but the Charge of the Light Brigade was interesting.

I've got some Napoleonics in my tree but nothing so Grand as this

She's certainly down as being born Maidstone, Kent on the 1851 but I see that it's not up acccording to Hugh Wallis. I can't get anything with various surnames.

Hi Mongoose, I wonder if this is the 2 men in the picture, would appear to be different spellings./

Hi Mongoose,

From same site http://www.pinetreeweb.com/13th-balaclava2.htm

"Eventually, the Regimental Sergeant-Major George Gardner was gazetted cornet and adjutant."

It all fits in.
