I was hoping he would show up in Crimean war records.  So no show.  He was stationed in Ireland in Dublin; that is where his son was baptised in 1852.  He has just disappeared. 
Checking the newspaper reports the 11th Hussars sailed for the Crimea July/Aug 1854 from Ireland. By Nov 1854 reports appearing of casualties (killed/wounded/missing/prisoner) under rank/name. He doesn't appear in the list published 30 November.

Do you have access to newspapers. I cannot find him using the search facility so am checking the papers month by month - but it's a slow process.

No..don't have access to newspapers...but just wondering which ones in particular?  English/Irish ones?  Let me know and I will try and will continue to look. 

Should add that a depot company continued at Newbridge, Ireland so no guarantee he was in the Crimea.

Casualties also appeared in the London Gazette. Cannot find a Marigold listed.

Added - the Gazette does not include hospital deaths which the newspapers papers do.

If he died would he appear in the local Irish newspapers or in the Army Chaplain records?
