Hello List Cathie Regarding the military history of William King, you would hope to find a service record on Find My Past. However, not all these records have survived, so perhaps he is one of the records you have already seen, or perhaps there isn’t one at all. You might be able to clarify this by looking at some other Army records. The following are explained in the FIBIS Fibiwiki page British Army, section Records http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=British_Army#Records * WO 116 Disability and all Royal Artillery pensions and perhaps *WO117 Pensions awarded to soldiers for length of service. These are available to download free of cost from the National Archives website. Another option is the WO120 records. If you can’t visit the National Archives Kew, these are available on LDS microfilm, There is also a book which you may be able to see at your library (perhaps inter library loan) called British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899 by Norman K. Crowder. As William King died in India there may be a brief entry here which should include his previous regiment, which would then enable you to trace him further The Bombay Calendar 1843 would probably be available at the British Library or similar Library Cheers Maureen From: Cathie Sherwood <[email protected]> Subject: [INDIA] William King, pensioner & baker & Catherine Casey Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2013 06:31:47 +1000 I have just received, virtually overnight from Family Search - a wonderful service - the register entries for the marriage of William King to Catherine Robson in 1842 and his death entry 4 years later in 1846 and have some questions about the information obtained.
