Armed Forces / Madras Horse Artillary
« on: Sunday 08 October 17 13:30 BST (UK)  »
I have found a medal (looks like silver) in my Grandmothers things, with a young Queen Victoria on one side, Pegu on the bar and inscribed Gunner William Railton, Madras Horse Art, I would love to know something about him.

The only connection I know of was that my Grandmother's sister Sarah Jane, was married to a John Gordon Railton and they came from Cumberland as it was then, but as far as I knew they had no children. I have no birth years to help only this medal.

Any help would be appreciated, I am stuck. Thank you.

I am trying to find out about Edward Leach, he was my hubby's Grandad and we know so little about him.
We were told he was a Barnardos boy and became  LT. Commander in the Royal Navy, and married a Rose Pridham, and died somewhere between 1958- 1960 we think, Rose Pridham came from Devon/Cornwall and they lived in Dorset when he died, and that's all I know........can anyone help

Can anyone help, Jane Lawes b.1818 Coombe Bissett has a daughter Eliza  b. 1840/1841 at St Thomas Salisbury there is no mention of a father so I presume the child is illegitimate.
