01/02/2010; I was looking to find casualty lists of the Indian Mutiny 1857-59 as part on my researching my family genealogy and came across this website. So I joined last night as I saw a member, Kevwood offering his services to search these lists for both the Crimea war & The Indian Mutiny, as he had a database. Unfortunately I also say the related message from the Moderator, Scrimnet back in September 09 stating that he was putting a lock on this topic as Kevwood was unwell at present, and they were unsure when he would be back.
The Moderator has informed me that he has not heard from Kevwood since his message last September.
Does anyone else out there have access to a similar database?
In relation to my family genealogy, the facts as known to me presently are as follows;
My great great grandmother, Margaret Jane McNight, was married on 10 Nov 1856 in 1st Presbyterian Church, Newtownards, Co Down, Ireland to a William Gilmore from Kent whose occupation was given as "Soldier". My late father had told me that William was killed in India before his wife could ship out to join him. There is a William Gilmore, Driver, 3/11 Royal Artillery and a William Gillmore, Private, 8th Hussars (Kings Royal Irish) on the Indian Mutiny Medal Roll (British Forces) 1857 -1859.
I have looked through a website giving the casualties of the British Regiments but found no William Gilmore or William Gillmore.
I know my GGGrandmother remarried to my GGGrandfather in Newtownards on 13 Feb 1864 and is shown on the marriage certificate as widowed. So her first husband would have to have died between 1859 and 1864.
Sorry to have been long winded in the detailing, but I would appreciate any help from the members to follow this line of enquiry.
