During the Mutiny it was at Dinapore, with the Jounpore Field Force, at Lucknow (which it bears on its colours), Azimghur, and in the operations in Oude. During this campaign Lieutenant H. M. Havelock Allen gained the Victoria Cross for distinguished bravery at Cawnpore, and Privates Kirk and Dempsey at Benares and Lucknow.

Remember this from 1871?
Mary A Simmons 14 - East Terda, Danepore [Cawnpore, East India?? - image is 'East Inda, Dronepore]
Looks like it could be Dinapore.

GoodMorning All,thank you Rose and Ozi will go and have alook at the link you gave me ,she was only young when she was out there and having child as well

It says on cert Barracks but it dos,t say which barracks or were,any ideas please?

Nudge so that SG can see what's been done!

Dutch , ( replying on here now I would delete the other thread or yo u will get people running round for the same info :)The marriage cert as you say says 'barracks'...the marriage being in Chatham which is where Mary was living...so could have been a local barracks OR where John was stationed at the time..which we don't know... he was soon off to India though....

Dutch it will be Brompton Barracks Chatham

( If you look back through thread Mary was in Brompton the year before her marriage)

If you want to know about Brompton barracks

Dutch

To RamblingRose for all the help she has given me and for her help with John army record,Also to all the other ladys who have help without you help ,I would,nt have had the information that i have now thank you
Dutchx

Let us know if you ever find where she was buried.

I reckon following up newspapers for an obituary would be worth the trouble. Also for that visit with the Queen. It would've been big news locally.
