76th Regiment in 1870's - looking for Thomas Hedges
« on: Wednesday 23 May 12 14:08 BST (UK) »
In 1877 my great grandfather, Thomas Isaac Hedges was a Lance corporal in the 76th Regiment.  (This was on his marriage certificate).  I have been unable to find Thomas on the 1871 Census so am wondering if he was abroad with his regiment.  Can someone help with this query please?  I would like to know when he enlisted and then left the Army.  He was married in Kent and was still in England in 1881 and thereafter.

Hoping to tie up some loose ends with this info,

Kind regards,
Dot.

Hi, Gorton Boy,
Your information sounds interesting - and that the regiment was away in 1871 will confirm what I had thought and he was overseas when the Census was taken.
Thomas Isaac Hedges was born in Abingdon (or Cumnor, I'm still trying to sort that out) Oxon in 1853.
Thanks for your help here,
Regards,
Dot.
