In fact the enumeration district description on ancestry confirms the regt was the 29th Foot. The officers names (earlier pages) could easily be cross checked to confirm this. havent looked at 1871 image but 12th L.a.r. might be 12th Lancers. Obviously that was not a foot regiment. Original poster did not say whether the person was found in other censuses. Judy Olsen On 17 Oct 2009, at 19:59, Robert Spargo wrote: > The 12th Foot was (I think!) the Suffolk Regiment.

thank you Judy and Robert some very useful information from you both. William died in 1878 therefore I only have the 1861 and 1871 census to go on. There is a possible Wm occ soldier and single in 1851 but he says born Ireland not Chatham, Kent....may be worth pursuing. Judy, where is the enumeration description? I couldn't see it on the 1861...just got to the 1st page which had the name of Brigadier General jDavid Russel. best wishes Sue > From: copywriter@tesco.net > Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:28:21 +0100 > To: eng-liverpool@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] Band master in 12th Foot? > > In fact the enumeration district description on ancestry confirms the > regt was the 29th Foot.
