I'm looking for information regarding Joseph Munday (1787-1870). He was born in Wimbledon, Surrey according to 1861 census. His first marriage was to Isabella Rose Allender and where he had at least four children. I would like to find out what happened to Isabella Rose before he married Martha Almond in 1850, and the names of the children that Joseph and Isabella had. I can only find four daughters, and I know there must be more children. How do I find this information? Didn't the families follow the soldiers during their travel? Joseph was a 7th Hussar for over 20 years. Did the Army keep records of births and deaths of family members?
Thanks, AZRose
I am historian, living near Waterloo Belgium, and I search more infos about Joseph Munday. who was guide on the battlefield after the dead of Edward Cotton(isla of Wight, jan 20, 1793 - Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium, June 24, 1849) and buried in the orchard of Hougoumont (on the side of Cpt. Blackman).
I know that Cotton married Sara Bean (but where and when ?) and coming in Belgium te Ixelles (Brussels) in 1835 where is born the firts daugher, in 1835. Elisabert, in 1838, Marie-Anne, 1842, Edouard, 1844 and Louise, 1847, are the others children.
But it seems that Cotton was firts married with the sister of the wife of Joseph Mundy (Elisabert Rose Allender)but I search his name, dates and place of birth/dth, etc.
And the same for Isabella Rose Allender...
For info, Joseph Munday is buried in the Castek cemetery, Monroe, Jonhson County, Iowa and the text of the stone is : Joseph Munday 1787 - Nov. 6, 1870 A veteran of the battla of Waterloo, d. 6 Nov. 1870 83y 7m".
That's correct : Joseph is in 1815 in the 7th Hussars, the same as Cotton.
Where and when is Munday born ? Where and when Allender and the second spouse, Martha Almond in born and death ?
