I have recently discovered that one of my ancestors (John Teevan, of Cavan (son of Terrance)) served with the above and was awarded an Indian Mutiny medal. I await details of his service record from the National Archives. I wish to find out more of the history of the 27th Foot - with specific reference to activities in India. I have contacted the Regimental Museum at Enniskillen although the information looks very "general" or relates to Waterloo or the Great War. I know there is a full history book (published in 1928) although the price is well beyond my pocket. I have searched the internet although see very little re India with, again, most of the info relating to Waterloo or the Great War. Can anyone help? Whilst posting ~ does anyone have any links with John Teevan (abt 1834, Cavan), James Teevan (abt. 1839, Cavan) or Mary Teevan, all being children of Terrance Teevan and Elizabeth Walsh / Walters? I believe that Mary married Michael Noble (Urney, 1856) with at least one child (James) being born in Cavan 1865. Both John and James died in Scotland in 1879 and 1901 respectively. I have full details of John and James's descendents.
