"Folks! The entry for "William Crawford of Downpatrick Late 91st Highlanders Who Died on 8th July 1911 Aged 75 Years" could literally be the answer to more than 30 years of searching by some very committed genealogists in Canada. William Henry Crawford was my great-great grandfather. We have his date of birth as 1834 (not 1836). He was married to one Honora Carroll. He served in the 91st (from 1852-62), in the 18th Royal Irish (1862-5), and finally in the 102nd Foot (1865-1873). The latter two postings were in India. Our WHC and his family emigrated to Canada in 1885. He vanishes from the scene in the mid-1890's, with lots of stories about what happened to him. He enrolled in Belfast in 1852 and we have photocopies of his enrolment papers"

Alf
