Dear friends, I purchased a Soldiers pocket prayer book from a flea-market near to where I live. The Prayer book was published by the Society for promoting knowledge and dated 1853. On the inside front cover page is the following inscription: Gunr & Driver Robt. BOOR No. 5 Company 12 Battalion Royal Artillery British Camp Crimea 1855 to 29 June 1856 India, from 31 December 1857 To 23 May 1863. China, from June 63 to 1865 India from 1865 to October 1866 then home. His address is given as Cowbit, Near, Spalding Lincolnshire. I looked on the IGI and found a Robert BOOR who was christened on 13th Sept. 1818 at Spalding, Lincoln. He was the nearest match. If this was him, he would have been 37 years of age in 1855 and 48 years of age when he returned home from India in 1866. Does anyone know anyone researching the BOOR family from Lincolnshire? Best wishes, Martin
