I live in Australia and am trying to trace any details including date of birth etc for my great great grandfather Daniel Whayman. I know he was a Sargent in the Royal Horse Artillery and I have his death listed in an old family bible as being 6th September 1874, although I can find no trace of his death anywhere. Any help would be dearly appreciated. I am at a loss at to what to do next.
Thanking you all in anticipation

This is the same family Jane (the mother ) is living with her daughter now. No sign of Daniel.
Just clutching at straws... he joined up then ... married Eliza while in Ireland ( as she hails from Dublin) and the rest as you say is history !!!!
