Hello All,
My 3 x g grandfather Richard Longden, according to his children's baptismal records and his death notice in the Times of India was a pensioned Sgt Maj late of 4th Regiment Madras Native Infantry. He died on 30 Dec 1866 in Arcot Madras. Where would I be able to find out more about his military career the pension he was paid and his family? All I know is that is that he was 73 when he died.
I live in Australia so going to the British Library or the Kew records office are not an option.
Any help would be much appreciated
Hellothere
