Hello Kev I hope you can help me. I am looking for James Holt born 1834 in Nottingham who was in the 4th light Dragoons. In 1859 he married  in Coventry and at that time he was a Corporal in Barracks, where was this? He died in 1879 in his hometown Nottingham aged 45.

Hello Kev,
Thanks for your offer.  I am interested in my grt x 5 Uncle Robert Rands, number 2266 who was in the Crimea with the 48th (?) Northants Foot, and later with the 90th Foot 1st Battn in India in the Mutiny.

I have some information about him, but I wonder if you have more.  I think he was in hospital till Mar 1854, and also in hospital at Balaclava Apr - Sep 1855, as well as Chichester depot hospital Apr 1856 - Feb 1857.  He was the black sheep in the family and seemed to have spent some time in military prisons, not sure what for!!  At one time he was a prisoner in hospital.

I appreciate your help.  I am also looking for any information about the campaigns which involved the 90th Foot during the mutiny.

Best wishes,
Tony Rands

Hello Kev & thanks for the offer.
I am looking for a Patrick O'Gara, a bombardier in the Royal Artillery; believe he died in service between 1851 and 1861.
In 1851 he was resident at the RA barracks in Woolwich.
Name was spelt Ocara in 1851 census.
Thanks if you can look him up anytime.
Best wishes
Michael Case

My relative is Robert W. Burrell. He served in the 68th infantry regiment. I have his service number somewhere if you need it. I have his service medal with clasps for Alma, Inkerman and Sevastapol. He was recruited at age 19 at Portadown, Ireland. Handed down family history is that he died on board ship upon return was Crimea and was buried at sea. I am very interested in any information you can provide.

Thank you.

Tim

Hi all,

Sorry i haven't been around for a long while. I don't have time at the minute for any look ups BUT

Most of what i have is now available online here

http://www.britishmedals.us/kevin/intro.html

The Crimea casualty roll is listed alphabetically and there is an Indian Mutiny Nominal roll for medals received.

I may have time if you have specific details that you want on the indian mutiny casualty roll to have a quick look.

The Crimea list is exactly the same as the one i have so please look for yourself.

It is a fantastic site so you may find other information to help you so check it out.

Hope you find what you are after.

Kev.

Hello All:

This is my first post & I hope that I have done it correctly.

I am in urgent need of some help in confirming a casualty of the Crimean War.  The chap's name is:

2584 Pte. Goodburn Mason, 30th Regiment.

I have several of 2/Rifle Brigade muster rolls, and on one he is listed as 'hospital' and then as 'dead'.

I have scoured every source that I know for Crimean casualties, and have come up empty.  As a matter of fact I cannot find him on any British census at all.

I did find a William Henry Goodburn Mason on the 1851 census but cannot connect him to my man in any way at all.

The 2 bars on his medal, ALMA & INKERMANN are also confirmed.

Any help would be most honestly appreciated.

Sincere thanks,
Marty
