John Gladney
« on: Saturday 23 November 13 21:22 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
        I'm trying to find information about the military career of John Gladney. I believe he served in the Crimean War and was involved in Cephalonia and Gibraltar. That's all I have.
                 Any help would be much appreciated,
                         Thanks

Hi Wayne

I could not find a Gladney (or the more common Gadney) in the Crimean medal rolls.

There is a regimental birth to a John Gladney born Belfast to a soldier of the 30th Regiment in 1839. The records of a John Gladney born in Enniscorthy, Wexford in 1807 who served in the 30th Regiment are also on Findmypast. But you should review the information that you are looking for a soldier before making a connection. Do you know if any of his siblings was born overseas for example.

FindMyPast also have the records for another John Gladney who served in the 54th Regiment – born in Killann, Wexford – who was awarded a medal for serving in Egypt in 1801. Soldiers had to be alive in 1847 in order to receive this medal.

Hi Wayne

You can order the 1839 birth certificate from the GRO in the usual way
