Hi Thudders, sorry he isn't listed.
The nearest i can find is a John Hills (private) in the 35th foot killed at jugdispore 23/4/1858.

As ever - always interested to hear of any Thomas Lloyd listed - I have 4 in a row that all served throughout the 19th & 20th century - probably Royal Artillery though by no means definite.
Cheers

Hi Nigel, the indian mutiny book is indexed by regiment then rank and alphabetically through the ranks.
The Crimea book is indexed by battle then regiment then rank and alphabetically.
I have checked the Royal Artillery for both and no Thomas Lloyds listed.
No problem Thudders.

Hi Kev,
Bit of a long shot but can you check your records for a John Collier from Cambridgeshire. He went missing for the 1861 census and his wife is listed as a widow. I can't find his death in the indexes so I thoght he might have died abroad.
Many thanks
David

Hi, From the Crimean.
Private John Collier 2662.
62nd regiment of foot(wiltshire)
Slight wound from minor action at Sebastapol 13th April 1855. published in london gazette. 1-5-55
So loads like he was there , but wasn't killed unless he died later from his wound, seems unlikely if it was a slight wound. Will check the Indian Mutiny shortly, could have died in that.
Kev.

Kev, do you have any info about Royal Naval ships serving in the Crimea? I'm trying to find out about HMS Sphynx and St Jean de Acre. An ancester served on both and got medals for the Crimea, Turkish Crimea, Baltic and, I think, India general service medal. But I can't work out where he was when.
Thanks
Pennyx

Hi Penny,
HMS Sphinx was certainly in the Crimea in 1854, perhaps your ancestor was aboard during this action at Sevastapol that was reported in the Times on November 8th 1854;
'The English had come within range of the batteries on the left shortly before 1 o'clock. The Agamemnan steamed in and engaged Fort Constantine with great determination. The Brittania was towed in, I believe, by the Retribution, then followed the Arethusa, Albion, and London. The Sphinx, newly arrived from the Baltic, went in firing her long fore and aft guns at Fort Constantine with considerable effect, for the enemy took espescial pains to be rid of her, and the shot which fell around her kept the sea in a continual foam.'
Fort Constantine was one of a series of defensive positions around Sevastapol,there is a pic of it here;

Hope this helps a bit,
Mick
