This is the source of his death date, a probate record:
Brocket, Andrew, otherwise Minto, Andrew Brocket, Effects under 20 pounds.
26 July 1864. Letters of Administration of the Personal estate and effects
of Andrew Brocket otherwise Andrew Brocket Minto late a Sergeant in the
Commissariat Department of Her Majesty's Indian Army a Bachelor deceased who
died 8 May 1858 at Lucknow in India were granted at the Principal Registry
to Esther Sutherland (Wife of James Sutherland, Druggist) of 1 Dalhousie
place Glasgow in the country of Lanark in North Britain the Sister and one
of the Next of Kin of the said Deceased she having been first sworn."
Now I see I might have made too big a jump in assuming that the Andrew Minto who got the medal with Relief of Lucknow and Lucknow clasps and who belonged to the 93rd Foot is the same as the man who died at Lucknow in 1858. There were no other possible Mintos (or variants, or Brockets) on the medal roll. Would the Commissariat Department have belonged to a regiment, or would it have separate records somewhere else?
It's interesting that the medal roll index you have notes if a recipient had died. Might he have been awarded a medal before his death?
This is the first military man who has come up in my researches--really appreciate the help.
I have had a look on the census for 1851 in UK with no luck.
