Richard Chambers (Circa 1791 - 1845), Sudbury

[Huwcyn]

The above gentleman appears to have been the brother of my ggg-grandfather. He is stated to have died in Sudbury around the end of April , 1845. I can find his record in the 1841, his profession being listed as ' Master ............' .(I'd be grateful if anyone can decipher this) . If anyone can find anything else about him, I'd be very grateful indeed. The parents of my ggg-grandfather have been a brick wall for over 60 years, and this is the very first lead on them.

Can't make it out but should you obtain his death certificate his occupation should be on that.

A newspaper report says he was a colour sergeant of the 69th regiment.
He served under the Duke of Wellington and his Waterloo medal was considered his greatest ornament. On his death bed he directed it should never leave the family, he also wanted to be buried in his regimentals.
