South Africa / Searching for Timothy Hogan - Cape Infantry
« on: Wednesday 06 January 16 20:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I am seeking any information on my Great Great Grandfather Timothy Hogan who I believe joined the Cape Infantry in 1882
Originally from Ireland, he served with the British Army in India from 1872 to 1879 and was then released to the army reserve. He left the reserve to join the Cape Infantry in 1882. I believe he may have sailed on the SS Nubian from Southampton to Cape Town along with his wife Urcilla. They were back in Ireland before 1890 - probably leaving once the Cape Infantry was disbanded.
Any pointers on how/where to access records for the Cape Infantry and/or the incoming passenger list for the SS Nubian would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Padraig Hogan
