Hi Kev,

Another long shot.  I am researching William Varmen (other possible spellings are Varmin, Vermon, Vermont, Varman, Vernon, Vermin) who is listed as a Chelsea Pensioner in 1861 Census.  He was born in 1829 in Puriton near Bridgwater in Somerset.  He is missing from 1851 Census.  The local regiment would be the Somerset Light Infantry, who I know were involved in both the Indian Mutiny and the Crimea.  However I have no proof that he was in that regiment.  Could you possibly check to see if he was wounded in either the Indian Mutiny or the Crimea.

Many thanks in advance

Kev, could you look up Thomas O'Brien. I do not know his regiment but the 1871 census indicates that he was a Crimean Pensioner and was blind. Sorry to be so vague.
