Hi Maree Im not a Military expert but if my memory serves me right the 71st Regt of Foot never served in AU but they did serve in other 'Empire' Countries between 1815 and 1850 but it is more than likely your Capt. Richards served and died around 1815 (The 1st/71st lost 16 officers and 171 men killed and wounded at Waterloo) Graeme O On Wed 26/09/12 19:01 , [email protected] sent: > Hi all .. > > is there anyone who would be able to help me with a query please ? > > I have a Henry Loftus Richards marrying Louisa Merrite Bigge in 1841 > NSW... > > Henry was the son of Capt.
