Hello List Daniel said: Is there a list somewhere of those who died in the Indian Mutiny? Does it include an Esther FRASER, wife of John FRASER, a private in the 12th Lancers? The reason I ask is as follows: John FRASER married Esther STANBRIDGE in Canterbury registration district in the 3rd quarter of 1856. In August 1856, the 12th Lancers set off for foreign service, stationed at Secunderabad. A daughter, Esther Elizabeth, was born at sea on 18 Sep 1856 and baptized in Bangalore on 3 Feb 1857. A second daughter, Jane, was born in Secunderabad in 1857 or 1858 (aged 3 in the 1861 census). Presumably Esther died in 1857-1860, although I have not found a record of this. In the 4th quarter of 1860, John was back in England marrying Esther's sister Lemery (in Leeds registration district). In the 1861 census, John, Lemery, and the two girls were living with the 12th Lancers in barracks in Leeds. The FIBIS database has transcriptions from the London Gazette. The description of the records says "Throughout the later stages of the Indian Mutiny, the Military Authorities were required to issue returns, generally Area by Area, of all Europeans who were killed or wounded by disaffected soldiers or local residents, from the beginning of the uprising. These returns were published in a number of Supplements to the London Gazette, generally throughout the year 1858.This list is a transcription of many of these records". http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_compo nents&id=493&s_id=103 or http://tinyurl.com/33m2o8f However I didn't find an Esther Fraser. If John Fraser was discharged from the Army, i.e. he didn't die in the Army, his records may be in the WO 97 records on Findmypast. (charge applies for record, free search) These records often include information about marriages , births and deaths. For more details see FIBIS Fibiwiki "British Army" http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=British_Army. Section 4.1.2 "Service and pension records" details WO 97 records. The FIBIS Fibiwiki "Chaplains Returns" http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Chaplains_Returns has information about BMD in the British Army. Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
