    Thank you Marian again for your help. I have sent this on to the daughter but I don't think it is the right Thomas according to the information she gave me.

    hmmmm,sylvia

    The 96th Regiment of Foot has a long and illustrious history. From 1839 to 1841, the 96th Regiment acted as convict guards at several locations around Australia. The Regiment were known as the "Bend Overs" and their uniform had Buff facings and braided gold lace. The Regiment was broken up into 26 separate detachments upon arrival in the colonies from 1839
