soldier of 72nd Highland Regt. in India
« on: Saturday 20 January 07 15:55 GMT (UK) »
I am searching Duncan James Lamond, born Argyll 1843, served in Crimea conflict and East India. He married a woman named Hariet Jane (possibly a nurse at Madras Lunatic Asylum) after he retired (in India). They stayed in the OOtacamund area over several generations. I have his military mustering out record and birth registration for his son, also Duncan James Lamond, born Ootacamund. The sons of this man immigrated to Canada and USA in 1960s and 70s.
