I have a g grandfather x 3 who died in 1843 from yellow fever at the age of 35 whilst serving in the Royal Sappers and Miners in Bermuda. His wife also died in 1843 and her new baby was baptised 2 weeks after her death. The couple left four orphaned children, one of whom went into the Royal Military School in Chelsea and another, my g g grandmother also came back to England (I don't know how). |

One would suppose that the Army were responsible for returning the 2 older children to England, so maybe any documents re. their repatriation might mention the other 2 children? |

It was the papers from the application for admission to the Military School in Chelsea which mentioned that there were 2 children left on the island in the care of "two poor people". |
