Private Joseph King

[Jan Prit]

Hello all, would love to find any records of the late Private Joseph King of the HM 86th Regiment that served in Madras India his death was in 1851. He was pensioned in 1824 and lived in Madras with a Indian women named Hannamal and children. Joseph adopted a Mary Rushton (father James of the 12th Regiment) he also was living with Hannamal before him and had another daughter named Elizabeth. before his death in September 1815. Anyone familiar with this family I would love to receive and information about them.

did he die 1851 or 1815. your dates are confused. if pensioned 1824 must be 1851??

have you accessed FIBIS:
