	Rose thanks for the very interesting sites. Had a look as have an interest in India re a rellie?? So a bit of advise please looking through freepages site put in said rellies' name and it came up with born USA which I also have for him on a census Aberdeen Scotland. Now this info is on a site (named) but can't access because not a member of Ancestry so is it OK to take out 14day trial for that short time and do I have to do anything to cancel free trial. Sorry for this long speil and you can understand what I'm talking about. Thanks Emmax

	Whilst looking up some details for someone I came across some interesting sites, background for anyone who had soldiers serving in India in the 1800s. Will add here as I find again. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thelamp/web%20India.htm http://www.britishbattles.com/second-sikh-war/goojerat.htm A book which looks very helpful..Sahib: The British Soldier in India 1750-1914 by Richard Holmes
