Hi Ken, Thanks again your quick response. I am not sure how I 'PM' my email address to you - will try and figure it out - and for the suggestion of listing info on the British Medal Forum, will do so later today.
The 1851 census at 61 Wells St., that you found shows his father George John Frederick Burghart and wife Margaret along with Henry's two older siblings. F. Burghart is his grandfather, Frederick John George Burghart. Have found from FJGB's naturalization papers, in 1830, that he was born in Alverdissen, Prussia which is now part of modern day Germany and arrived into England in 1806. FJGB was one of the top Savile Row tailors of his time and became extremely wealthy however he lost the lot in the mid 1840's.
The Henry Burghart in the Kings German Legion entry in Waterloo - we don't know how he fits in.
All data I have shows that my ggf Henry was born in Middlesex, England - we think either at Wells Street or 5 Market Street where his elder sibling was born however as previously mentioned, haven't found a birth registration nor a baptismal record for him. If his medical was undertaken at Athlone, I am presuming that the 1/25th foot was based there at the time?
You mentioned the 14th Foot became the West Yorkshire Regiment. When Henry was at the Workhouse in Marylebone, (C1861) also there was a Thomas West. It seems Thomas was also conscripted into the Army about the same time as Henry as he is with the 1/25th at Fort Rowner when the C1871 was taken. When Henry married in 1876 at Fulford, York, Thomas was one of the witnesses at his nuptials. I don't know what happened to Mr West as he isn't on the C1881 at York at the New Infantry Barracks nor did he join the KOSB. Have a thought that the army box may of been his?
Thanks again Ken and will try and sort how to do the PM ... Bonnie
