I am looking for any information on my lost family members. My GGGrandfather Samuel Chandler (1819-1852) was a soldier. Army records show that he joined the 35th Regiment of Foot (Royal Sussex) at Lewes in 1839. Between 1841 and 1846 he served in various locations in Ireland including Carlow and Clonmel in the south, Carrick on Suir on the north west coast, Youghal and Charles Fort in County Cork, Templemore and Nenagh in County Tipperary. During this time he married Mary Mitchell in Ireland. In July 1846, Samuel was posted to Jersey, the largest of the Channel Isles. In September, their son and my GGrandfather William H. Chandler (1846-1909) was born in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. A further son, James Chandler (1847-?) was born in Jersey. There was also a sister, Mary Jane. Unfortunately, Samuel died at Stoke Damerel Military Hospital, Devon in 1852.
William H. Chandler emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1873 but we have no family history of what happened to his mother Mary Mitchell (or her family), his brother James or sister Mary Jane. I have been searching for information for many years and would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you.
