Thanks Priscilla
It is appreciated you have taken the time to reply to my query.
My instinct suggests he was named William Henry Gliddon. There were six W.H. Gliddons registered in the Birth Index Records over the 1870 - 1890 period these being September 1868, September 1873, September 1878, June 1884, September 1886 and March 1889. Three others with W.H. as initials had other initials tagged on. The W.H. I am seeking had the following Regimental Numbers over the time he was soldering namely 3767 - 15415 - 5415.
The data in my records regarding him was derived from a collection of campaign medals offered for sale a year or so ago.
If I can be steered to the attestation records then I should be able to find something about him.
Gliddons are a line being followed as my great grandfather, Richard Doidge Nosworthy, born 1831, came out here in the 1860s the son of one Rebecca Gliddon who married Richard Doidge Nosworthy in London in 1824, both living at times in East Stonehouse with my g.g their eldest son coming here followed by a further two brothers, all from East Stonehouse.
Quite a data bank of Gliddons have been assembled and who W.H. was may well fit in.
Any insight into the investigation would be deeply appreciated.
Kindest regards
