I am trying to trace a relative who was a sergent in the 92nd regiment guards. His name was James Logan who hailed from East Lothian. I know that he died prior to his son marrying in 1868.
Regards
Margaret

Hi Margaret,
This is a bit odd.
He appears to be listed in the medal roll.

But i can't find the 92nd foot in the casualty rolls at all?

Hi Kev
Could you please look up a Robert Davies born in 1811 who describes himself in the 1861 census as a Chelsea Pensioner out-posted. I therefore assume he has fought in the Crimean war? Your help would be very much appreciated
Thanks
Jum

Hi Jum, welcome to rootschat.
He may have been a little too old for the crimea, do you know where he was born?
May be listed on here.

Thanks Kev, I had seen that one but I'm not sure if it's the same person?
I don't have a middle name for my Robert Townsend/Townsley (he changed his name periodically)
Is the 6th Dragoon Guards a Scottish regiment?
Is there any way I can find out more about this Robert George do you think?

Think they were.

I think it is worth a seperate post to see if anyone knows the best way to go, there are a lot more knowledgeable people than me on here.

Thanks Kev, might be worth pursuing.
I know the whole family were in Jhansi in 1867 when Robert's son Francis enlisted in the Sutherland Highlanders.

Hi
New to this message section so hopefully this will work! Found out at the weekend an ancestor Thomas Saunders 2330 enlisted 23rd Foot Royal Welsh Fusiliers in June 1857, and spent over 11 years of his 17 years service overseas.
We think he served in the Indian Mutiny - is there any way you can check?
Thank you.

Hi Supersam, welcome to Rootschat.
If you have a look at this link it shows a Pte Thomas Saunders of the 1st Battalion 23rd Foot (Royal Welsh Fusiliers). It could be your man!
The list is the recipients of the Indian Mutiny medal.

Hope this helps,Mick

Thank you - that was quick! Thanks for confirming our suspicions. I feel another visit to Kew is needed for more family army records. The hunt goes on.....

Hi Kev,
When you have some time I would appreciate anything you find on James Kilroy, 61st Regiment of Foot.
In 1853 James was noted as "Sergeant of the 61st Regiment" in 1853 marriage entry and by 1862 he was "Penshioner of the 61st Regiment" - It's all the info I have currently.
Many Thanks
Katarina
