Hello Kev
Bit of a long shot, but I wonder if you can find any reference to John Roberts of the 38th Foot? All I know is that he was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with the regiment in 1850/51 when his daughter was born. Thanks.

Please would it be possible for you to do a look for James Carpenter. I do not know any regiment but I do know from another family member he sailed to the Crimea in 1855. He also went to India and China, returning to the UK in 1862.
On an anncouncement for his daughters marriage he says he is RSM James Carpenter. He came from Hessenford in Cornwall if that is any help.
Thanks
Lynda

Hi Annie/ Afraid I know very little about him. That is really what I'm trying to find. His date and place of birth etc has alluded me. I have many Williams in Devon at the time but I cant pinpoint him - Jack

Hi
I wonder if you can help?
A relative of mine was allegedly wounded-more possibly killed in the crimea. Sadly, I have no exact date.
His name was John Dodds and what I do know from an artists drawing of him- he was in the Artillery.
Wnder if you would be so kind as to see if he on your lists- thanks
