Hi everyone, i now have the casualty rolls for the Crimean war 1854-1855 and the Indian Mutiny 1857-1859.

If anyone would like a lookup let me know.

Hi Kev,
thank you for such a kind offer.

At your convenience, would you please have a look for John Hill, 61st Regt of Foot, service number 1990, in the Indian Mutiny roll.

Thank you very much.

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. ;D

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.
