Have a Thomas Moore possible corporal In the army out in India. Married a Ann/Antonia Perriea on the 30th May 1855 in Secunderabad, Madras, India.

Thomas died or was killed during the Indian Mutiny some time between 1857/58. So I would be very grateful if some can find his date of death and the regiment he was in?

Researching:
Cornwell families of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire

Although these are from FMP, they are attributed to Kevin Asplin, who has several military sites - try Googling to see if there is more info on his site.

The image of the marriage has him as Corporal in the 4th Battalion Artillery.

Kevin Asplin's site attachs Stirlingshire to the 75th foot - possible a clue to Thomas's POB.
