What is confusing me is that on my gg grandmother's death certificate - Isabella Kieley nee Carroll her parents are listed as William Carroll and Arabella Purcell.

But wasn't she (Isabella) born circa 1822 ?  So her mother could not be the one in the 1841 census in Glasgow, aged 25+?

Skirting round the wife/children issue, a 586 Sgt William Carroll is in Newbridge Ireland with the 17th Regiment of Light Dragoons (the title of the 17th Lancers at the time).  Same number as the 1841 man so same man.

That is from WO 12/1336 at the National Archives, the muster book of the regiment for 1849-1851 transcribed by FindMyPast here:

Died 1 March 1860, now Troop Sergeant Major,  has the Indian Mutiny Medal. https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBM/INDIAN-MUTINY/7743

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

You are right that doesn't make sense.

I'm now wondering if Arabella Purcell was married to one of these?

That is exactly what I have been suggesting!

Oh wow!  I’m claiming William Carroll 586.  He was my GGG grandfather who married Ann and had four children, three of them remaining in India including my GG grandfather (also William) after they were orphaned...  I was talking about him today with a friend and how he’s still a bit of a mystery and decided to have a bit of a google and this message popped up so now I know a rough year of birth and confirmation that he was from Ireland!  Cheers for that!
