Armed Forces / Re: 45 Regiment of Foot and the Kaffir wars
« on: Monday 22 August 11 14:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi I think I might be able to help, is it the 45th Regiment of foot which later became, the 1st Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters?

My Great Great Grandfather Matthew Cowley Served in this Regiment from 1840 to 1860.

I have a four page documentation of where he went and promotions ect, I found a copy on find my past but already had photocopies of the records a few years back which a researcher obtained so I did not get any further though it did say what medals he had  :)

I found writing to the Sherwood Foresters Museum helpful! They do not have Service Records but do have a data base of information from that people have submitted. Its how I managed to get a lead  :)

I was told to look up a book called   "History of the 45th Regiment by Colonel P. H Dalbiac", it says Daldic in its edge"  It covers the period from 1741 through to 1881.

I could not get hold of this book except to ask at the local library but this was a few years back , and it was only allowed to be photocopied, so my hubby kindly did this for me, because of my health.

I hope this is of some help and the Museum is always looking out for photographs if your lucky to have one to put on their honour roll.

They did not charge at the time for research but welcomed donations which I gave, I hope you can get further with your research
Best wishes Rose

Hello Rosie are you able to receive my personal messages yet? I will try and send one to you.
Best wishes Rose

Thanks for your message, but I can't reply personally yet as I haven't placed enough posts!
Matthew Cowley had several children - Isabella (born 1868), Matthew Henry (born 1870), Fanny (born1872), William (born1873), Martha Annie (born 1874), Mary Alice (born1876), Albert (born 1880) and Ernest (born 1882).

In 1868, Matthew, then a widower, married Isabella Tazaker, daughter of Henry Tazaker.

Matthew's parents were Matthew Cowley, 1786 - 1853, of Ashover. and Sarah Mitchell, b 1786 Chesterfield, d 1859, Ashover.

Hello Rosie

Thanks for the reply,

I also use a site called Ancestry not sure if you are also on there?

Its where I mainly have the Cowley tree , I also have some information, and copies of newspaper clippings from Derbyshire.

 As soon as I can PM you properly I will send you my email or a link to the family tree if you wish.
 Do you have any photos of Matthew and Fanny? I would love to know what he looked like.
I am just really pleased to meet someone related to Matthew:)
Best wishes Rose

Thank you everyone for your help, I was very lucky for once, there was a stone plus both wives and two children as well as the Husband/ Father all there.
I have posted a photo with an inquiry in the Grave stone "section" if anyone would like a peep, again thank you all very much :)

Hello can anyone please tell me the word at the very top of the grave stone "In ? Remembrance of " it could just be my eyesight but I cannot make it out.
Also after Matthew Cowley's name and some others seems to be the number 1 is that a Comma or does it mean something else. Thank you for your help.
