Explaination needed of a Military Campaign and award roll (served 1793 - 1815)

[curlywurly]

I would again like to thank everyone for there help and I am sorry I duplicated my question. Would you like me to remove the post from the Photo Restoration board?

Thanks
Debbi x

Not a problem Debbi, I have asked people on the Photo Board thread to respond on this one so there will hopefully be no confusion

Thank you

Hi Debbi

The A/a on the form stands for ‘Accepted’. The Xs are when claims for clasps were rejected. The writing underneath appears split into two by a bracket. The remarks on the right are along the lines of ‘directed to England 21/28 Mar/May 1813…..before return in 8? April’ – if correct then he was not in Spain for Nivelle (November 10, 1813) or Orthes/Orthez (February 27, 1814) - but back for Toulouse (April 10-12, 1814).

I cannot read the remarks under Albuera (May 16, 1811). He may have been off on detachment somewhere. This may also explain why he was awarded Fuentes de Oñoro. The 23rd Regiment were at Albuera, but they had two battalions at the time, and he may have been with the 2nd Battalion.

Here is a useful Wiki link to the clasps/battles - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_General_Service_Medal

As Neil says you had to be alive on 1st June 1847 to be entitled. The Waterloo medal was awarded soon after the battle.

Interestingly, I found an ancestor of mine listed on a similar roll and ignored it as I didn't think it gave much information    I'll have to find it again and see if it is anything like Debbi's.

I think the Remarks column says Faints, with something else beneath. And below that could be a date of 21 Mar 1813. Not a lot of help but the date might be significant to the Military Experts 

Added: Sorry, I hadn't realised that the thread had gone on to a second page and Ken had already covered the date.

Wow!  I didn't dream of getting as much information as I have got from all you fantastic people. Thank you sooooo much again. Believe me it is very much appreciated and now I feel I am able to find out a bit more about my ancestry, or at least about the battles he took part in.

That's fantastic that it is on FindMyPast. My local studies library has access to it so it is definitely on my list for my next visit

Hi Debbi,

I think we might share the same John Liversage (Liversedge) as an ancestor. I'm new to this site and not really sure how to share my info with you.

I've got an entire family tree posted on Ancestry.com that you could see I believe.

anyway...hopefully we can connect and see if we are related.

cheers,

David

Hi David

Welcome to the Forum. You need to make two more posts and you can then exchange personnel messages with Debbi. PMs are the only way you should swop email addresses for example.
