Private Joseph King
« on: Tuesday 22 June 21 00:18 BST (UK) »
Good Morning all, hope this finds you all well. :-[ I am searching for any records on Private Joseph King he was a member of the 69th and 86th Regiment British Army he came from Leicester England and was involved in the War 1 fighting in India. I found that he may have come from Whicastle area. Would like help in finding any information about him at all, as I am also connected to another person a Private James Rushton HM 12th Regiment who died on the 23/9/1815 Mauritius in 1815, Private Joseph King adopted Jame's daughter Mary. :-[

Regards,
Janet :-\

Joseph King of Whicastle served in the regiments you cite, his discharge record is on Findmypast.  He served from 1801 to 1824.  He was in India but most certainly not in WW1.  A net search on the two regiments wil show where they served, he was with the 86th Foot 1801-1819 and the 69th Foot 1819 - 1824.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Sorry, his service record has nothing about a marriage (that is normal) and I find nothing else I'm afraid.

Others may have ideas as to where to find him.

Whicastle

That's what the army discharge papers record...but there's no such place. Whitwick perhaps?

Good Morning AllanUK, ShaunJ and MaxD, thanks so much for your help finding his parents. I realize that finding his possible marriage when he was in India, he may have married a Native woman named Hannamal who had two girls with my ancestor Private James Rushton, he died in 1815 Mauritius India and Private Joseph King adopted Mary (my ancestor) born 26/9/1809. :-[ still searching for records to prove this find. :-\

Regards,
Janet :-[
