Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[cobba1982]

Hi Kev,

Its great work you are doing.

Could I please check your records for a John Neeson. He served with the 64th Regiment of Foot
(2nd Staffordshire). He was stationed in India from 1848 until 1861 so I believe he could have taken part in the Indian Mutiny.

Thanks so much for your help,
best regards Rob

Could you look up my GGGfather
Michael Dodd 87th Regiment of Foot (Irish Fusileurs) b~ 1811

I have found him on the medal list for the Indian Mutiny on fibis and on the 1861 census as a Chelsea Pensioner. So the chances are that he was injured out of the army in this campaign. He was listed as a Colour Sergeant on the 1851 Census. I could find the casualty list for the Crimea, but not for the Indian Mutiny?

Many Thanks

Do you have anything for a John Hoban who was serving at that time?  No idea which regiment - all I have is the name.  Many thanks. Valerie

Hi all, no look-ups for about a month im afraid as i am in the middle of moving house and things are packed away, I will also have no internet access until the middle of March, as soon as it is sorted I will do them for you all.

In the meantime please try Kevin Asplins site that I have linked to on previous pages.

Kev.

Hi Kev,

Looking at your previous posts, you're a total mine of information!

I've discovered a Crimean war letter among my grandmother's effects. It's written by one John Sewell, Reg No 2820, H Company, 46th Regiment, ''Before Sebastopol, 16th December 1854''. ''It's rumoured that we are to have an affair with the Russians on the 20th.''

Just wondering if he came through it OK.

Hope the house move went well - it can be the most traumatic experience of one's life!!

Many Thanks,

H.

Hi Kev,

Ref the above but one...

I've since been in touch with the 46th Regiment (Duke of Cornwall's LI) Museum in Bodmin, and their records show that John Sewell died of dysentery at Sebastopol 45 days after he wrote his letter. Sobering stuff.
