Thank you Choccy, he didn't live long after being discharged from the army did he.

Thank you JoonieCloonie, I'd not heard of the Indian Mutiny.

Very kind of you both to continue looking, very much appreciated.

Chris

Given that he enrolled in 1857 I wondered whether he would have been involved in the Indian Mutiny

Regiment or Ship 95th Foot (Derbyshire)

? The timing and regiment suit. And he would likely have been absent from England in 1861 if he was in the military, one way or another.

Sepoy Rebellion
Soon after the Crimean War ended the Sepoy Rebellion broke out in India in 1857. The 95th Regiment was on its way to South Africa and was diverted to India. Over the next sixteen months it marched 3,000 miles through jungle and desert and fought in fourteen actions. Private Bernard McQuirt won the Victoria Cross at Rowa. The 95th remained in India until 1870 after which they returned to England before becoming the 2nd Battalion of the newly formed Sherwood Foresters.

My posting yesterday at 22.25 gives his Army details -

(discharged from Army in Dublin on 23rd March 1878 having been found unfit to serve by the Medical Board on the 13th March 1878 due to bronchitis, phthisis and pulmonaria.

Intended place of residence - 6 Pimlico, Ilkeston, Derbyshire)

6 Pimlico, Ilkeston (1871 census address)

The Amos I found was discharged through ill health. So far I have not found any thing else on him after that Chris.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you all, much appreciated.

Chris

Sorry Chris. It was his service record. He was discharged on Oct 16 after 18 years and 19 days service. Possibly not your man.

Sorry must go now...up early in the morning.

I think I must be missing something Alviegal. When you say he was of bad character??

Chris

Alviegal I've also just seen those records for York Cavalry Barracks, what are your thoughts on them being the brothers. The records for Amos look very promising, birth place spot on too.

Sylvia I believe you are right.

Chris

?? He was of bad character.

Could this possibly be Amos in1857

I've not found Amos either.

I'm also trying to find Elijah c1834 in the 1891 (although in the 1881 this was shown as 1826)

Chris
