Robert Warnecke -Crimean Conflict
« on: Wednesday 07 October 09 10:19 UTC (UK) »
Seeking any Military connection for Robert William Warnecke, born 27 May 1838 Dublin, Ireland, prior to 1871 when he was a tent maker in Liverpool, England.
AIF Australian records suggest/state he fought in the Crimean, but not proven.
His father Henry Warnecke born Hammeln, Hanover, was in the 85th Foot Regiment, 2nd Dragoons 1816-1843 Discharged at 46 yrs.
His brother Henry Warnecke was a Sergeant, 14th Foot 2nd Battalion, Buckinghamshire Regiment, he stayed in Melbourne, Australia after the Battalion left in 1870.
Robert Warnecke's son, Thomas W McKnight Warnecke was killed in WW1 AIF  France 2 May, 1917, 3rd Pioneer Batt.
Many thanks

Hi Kay

Was he living at 10 Kirkdale Road in 1871? If so, I think the occupation is time keeper.

Unfortunately to research men discharged 1855 to 1872 in Kew, you need to know if they were in the cavalry, infantry, artillery or about 4-5 other series. Findmypast will be putting surviving records online by 2011 - maybe sooner for these early records. Then you should be able to do a name search.

If his papers have not survived you only have the muster books. And for these there are about 200 per year, as each unit had it's own. If you haven't got his marriage certificate or the birth certificates for all his children (while he served) it may be worth considering, as one of them might have his regiment.

You could also check FMP for overseas/regimental BMDs as these will also give his regiment.

Ken, Thanks  for all your information, it has been very helpful.
Robert Warnecke only known marriage/childrens births was not until post 1870 so that excludes those possibilities. Will keep trying.
Cheers Kay
