Hello Thank you for the information Re William Morrison. I am slowly putting together his history in India and certainly your input has helped Gerald -----Original Message----- From: india-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:india-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Maureen Evers via Sent: Thursday, 23 July 2015 4:03 PM To: india@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [INDIA] WIlliam MORRISON Hello List Noel and Gerald, my understanding is that in 1848 only Artillery troops would have been stationed at Dum Dum, so I think he almost certainly would have been Horse Artillery. As there weren't generally Royal Artillery units in India until the Indian Mutiny, I think it very likely that he was part of the Bengal Army, and you should be able to trace him further as a member of the Bengal Army, either at the British Library or using FamilySearch microfilm. For details, see the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Bengal Army, section Records http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Bengal_Army#Records Cheers Maureen On 23/07/2015, at 12:38 PM, Noel Clark via <india@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Gerald, > > A Farrier Sergeant would have been attached either to a cavalry > regiment or a horse artillery unit, which narrows the search a little. > Daughter Isabella was actually born in 1846 according to the records - > 26th February 1846 - and baptized on 11th September 1848 at Dum Dum.
