I am a little bit busy until the end of the week but on the weekend I shall do
lookups for both MUNSON and GODDARD. Promise not to keep you waiting too long

Amy,

I found that the Army births etc are now on 1837online and managed to get all the needed for MUNSON.  Hope you haven't gone to too much trouble so far.

Many thanks for taking the time.

Hi,
Having seen your thread re births in India, can I ask for help?
My gt gt gt grandfather Benjamin Harris was in the 14th
Foot regiment, according to his record (obtained from Kew) he spent 16 years in East India, I only know of my gt gt grandmother Benedicta Harris, she was born & baptised in Tingewick Buckingham (Benjamin her father married Susanna Bayliss in 1804 in Tingewick) so I wonder now, knowing that he was in India from late 1814 until 1832, did he have his wife with him, and if so, were there any other children born in India?

Is it possible for you to help with this query?

I do not know all the places he would have been, the record was difficult to read, could however make out that he was at the Deccan Campaign,
Any help woulf be much appreciated thanks

Try the British Library in London.  Their India Office section is really helpful. 
oioc-enquiries@bl.uk 
They hold a huge amount of records on Anglo India and Indian army and will probably search for you.  Also try the new records on 1837 online, births, marriages and deaths in the Army.
