Dear Maureen: As you had done earlier you have been prompt with many a helpful suggestion. Indeed the Royal Volunteers came to be called the 85th Regiment and also the first Light Infantry of the British Army. In keeping with this thought I did contact the Curator of the Regimental Centre at Shrewsbury,Shropshire who replied to say that they did not possess any of the details that I had asked for. She also was not able to tell me what the colours of the regiment were. On an off chance I have also written to the new StChad's church ,Shrewsbury,pastorate as to whether they had any detail of the function.I have not had a reply . What had been bothering me was the time lag between the publication of induction and presentation of colours at the "old" St Chad' church. The induction as per the newspaper was 7 Aug 1759 the date of the colours being presented at the St Chad's Church at Shrewsbury was 21 Dec 1759. The regiment was not trained in the art of being a Light Regiment and found itself in Portugal. While the explanation you have given is possible,what makes me wonder is the fact that Lt James Stewart joined as a Lieutenant and not as an Ensign,the latter,would be in keeping with the purchase of a position.As you have suggested he may have come with previous experience and could have been used for recruitment.It would also mean that either James Stewart already had no army experience and that he could purchase his position, since the regiment he was joining was a" Volunteer" regiment and a certain laxity was permissible in his case and and a direct recruitment to the rank of Lieutenant made. The last reference that you gave was interesting. I found one reference to the List of Officers of the Bombay army (as of a later date). indicating a Lt General James Hartley Commander of the troops and member of the Commission on Malabar and Poona. He is stated to have joined the 75th Highland Regiment on Oct 24 1787 and been elevated to the rank of Lt General on 3 May 1796. He is also stated to be a King's Officer.You may well wonder at my interest in James Hartley. I have read that a James Hartley was in the advance party sent before the main British contingent that was sent out from Bombay to capture the seat of the Peshwas. He was also a Captain. Since James Hartley was a King's officer,could not James Stewart also have been a King's officer too and is it not be possible that he also possibly belonged to 75th Highland Regiment ? I do not know whether this Regiment was in India at that time or whether these officers were ceded from the King's Army to the HEICo. I do know that James Hartley was promoted to Lt Colonel immediately after the failed a attempt at Poona Once again I have so many questions which you may find irksome but then I don't have any one else to turn to. Thank you for your time and with regards Yours sincerely John this period of about 6 months could have been used for some kind of formal training.

I should also have added that two of the images I found here are of a better quality than ones from FMP.

I have had a look at these as several of my families were in Madras. I have been able to locate 2 deaths and 2 marriages so far. I have been looking for a marriage which took place in Madras in 1872. Looked at the film for Marriages 1872-Jul 1877. This is a real hotch potch and what I did find was that some of the marriages dated back to 1828. Some occurring at the Mission Chapel, native congregation registers in the Emmanuel Church. The Madras Trinity Chapel also has entries for the English congregation and native congregation - here again the dates do not tally with the 1872-1877 time frame. The films are in sort of alphabetical by year order - well more or less. Mary Anne On 5/06/2015 1:31 PM, india-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Recently added images on FamilySeach.

John, James Stuart, who died on January 04, 1779 at or near Vadgaon in the First Anglo-Maratha War is still remembered in Maharashtra for the bravery he displayed in the battle. The native Marathi speakers corrupted his name to 'Ishtur Phakda' (phonetically IShTur FAkaDA) in their speech and it is under this corruption that his name appears in the many of the contemporary documents. The meaning of the corruption is 'Stuart the Brave'. I had mentioned this fact in one of my old postings in this List, available at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2004-06/1086468210 The corrupted form still survives in the Marathi language, though few can recall its history. I carried out a Google search entering this corrupted name in the Devanagari script and the search brought up a few hits. In the head-note of one of them mentioned the fact that a half-bust of Stuart existed somewhere and that a small memorial to him was built at Vadgaon by his soldiers. I could not follow this link further because the main text (a newspaper write-up of 2003) shows only garbage in which that newspaper coded the Devanagari text at that time instead of a readable Marathi text. If you enter the search term 'Ishtur Phakda/Fakda' in Google, you will read more about these facts. (BTW, 'Vadgaon' and 'Marathi/Maratha' are the correct spellings of these Indian words.)

Good Morning David, The volume of mail to the list has slowed down considerably. It was expected to do so as the population of "India Hands" aged. I expect it to pick up again when younger generations become interested in researching what we have recorded for them in our list archives. In May, 2015 we had 20 messages to the list, down from 63 in April. You can see the May postings at:. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/INDIA/2015-05 So far, June has yielded one posting. If you don't already do so, David, you may be interested in following the very interesting conversations on the india-british-raj list.

Hi Lyn, I searched for nearly 30 years for My "discharged by purchase" soldier also in 1852 who arrived into NSW with his family. I eventually found him on the "William Prowse" which arrived in Port Jackson 22 Feb 1853 after leaving 12 Dec 1852. When I say I found him on this ship unfortunately his name, his wife and infant daughter my gt grandmother, were not shown individually as they came in with 92 other steerage passengers from Madras India. The film is 1280. The reason I know it was this ship is because he got into trouble with the law and his gaol description record showed the ship as well as his arrival and also his description and where he was from. So I think it would be a good idea to follow up on this ship. Perhaps a search on TROVE newspaper may be helpful as it was for me, but hopefully not through a gaol record. Good luck. Joan My 3xg grandparents Richard and Mary LUPTON married in Lahore in 1848, when he was in the East India Co Army. Their son William was born 31 May 1852, and Richard "discharged by purchase Sept 1852". I have been trying to find when and how they arrived in Australia, which I assume was soon after Sept 1852. Where would I find passenger lists for ships leaving India for Australia? Can anyone help me, please?

Thank you Maureen. I’m sorry, I should have said where I’ve already looked. On NSW State records site there are 3 Lupton arrivals in Sydney from Melbourne in 1854 and 1855, but they’re all just Mr Lupton, no family. I’ve searched Ships List, NSW State records, PROV, Trove, but it’s always possible I missed something. I’m hoping the listers’ experience can point me in the right direction.
