Hi Kev
My 3x great grand uncle George Dowse, born about 1836 Coventry, was in the KRRC at Meerut during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. He wound up by the 1871 census in Millbank Prison in London shown as soldier/prisoner. From the 1881 and 1891 census he was a soldier/inmate at Grove Hall Lunatic Asylum in Bow. He may have died about 1901 in Bow. Is there any mention of a George Dowse (variants - Dows, Douce, etc.) in the casualty lists or medal rolls for the Indian Mutiny?
Thanks
Paul

This is a long shot but would you have any mention of Sergeant William Jones, 34th Regiment of foot please? I know he was in India, not sure when he made up to sergeant tho. I don't have a number for him ( I have just started a post to try and find out info on him)
many thanks
edit. Just looked on Wikipedia and it says that the 34th were in both the crimea and at the sepoy rebellion so could you please look for him in both, many thanks

Hi kev,
Are you still doing lookups... I see you have your work cut out for you with so many requests but, If so, I would appreciate a lookup for George Thorne, private, 13th foot regiment (Somerset Light Infantry).
I understand that the 13th were briefly involved in the Crimean war, and the Indian Mutiny.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Kev,
Thanks for your offer. I am interested in my grt x 5 Uncle Robert Rands, number 2266 who was in the Crimea with the 48th (?) Northants Foot, and later with the 90th Foot 1st Battn in India in the Mutiny.
I have some information about him, but I wonder if you have more. I think he was in hospital till Mar 1854, and also in hospital at Balaclava Apr - Sep 1855, as well as Chichester depot hospital Apr 1856 - Feb 1857. He was the black sheep in the family and seemed to have spent some time in military prisons, not sure what for!! At one time he was a prisoner in hospital.
I appreciate your help. I am also looking for any information about the campaigns which involved the 90th Foot during the mutiny.
Best wishes,
Tony Rands

Hello Kev & thanks for the offer.
I am looking for a Patrick O'Gara, a bombardier in the Royal Artillery; believe he died in service between 1851 and 1861.
In 1851 he was resident at the RA barracks in Woolwich.
Name was spelt Ocara in 1851 census.
Thanks if you can look him up anytime.
Best wishes
Michael Case

My relative is Robert W. Burrell. He served in the 68th infantry regiment. I have his service number somewhere if you need it. I have his service medal with clasps for Alma, Inkerman and Sevastapol. He was recruited at age 19 at Portadown, Ireland. Handed down family history is that he died on board ship upon return was Crimea and was buried at sea. I am very interested in any information you can provide.
Thank you.
Tim

Hi all,
Sorry i haven't been around for a long while. I don't have time at the minute for any look ups BUT
Most of what i have is now available online here
http://www.britishmedals.us/kevin/intro.html
The Crimea casualty roll is listed alphabetically and there is an Indian Mutiny Nominal roll for medals received.
I may have time if you have specific details that you want on the indian mutiny casualty roll to have a quick look.
The Crimea list is exactly the same as the one i have so please look for yourself.
It is a fantastic site so you may find other information to help you so check it out.
Hope you find what you are after.
Kev.

Hello All:
This is my first post & I hope that I have done it correctly.
I am in urgent need of some help in confirming a casualty of the Crimean War. The chap's name is:
2584 Pte. Goodburn Mason, 30th Regiment.
I have several of 2/Rifle Brigade muster rolls, and on one he is listed as 'hospital' and then as 'dead'.
I have scoured every source that I know for Crimean casualties, and have come up empty. As a matter of fact I cannot find him on any British census at all.
I did find a William Henry Goodburn Mason on the 1851 census but cannot connect him to my man in any way at all.
The 2 bars on his medal, ALMA & INKERMANN are also confirmed.
Any help would be most honestly appreciated.
Sincere thanks,
Marty
