Thank you Peter and Brenda........... some more looking up to do.......... .............. thanks for your help Peter......I have some respect for Army people.....may be because of my age and I was brought up with National Service................my father was in Burma with a Vickers Machine Gun......but he died a few days before the end of the war..........never saw the taking of Rangoon

Many thanks to you all The information you have all given me is very interesting. I guess if William John Whiteside was the driver of the front pair of horses its not suprising that he died!! I think I will look for a nice picture to include in the tree I am doing and scan it in at least my kids will have an idea of what he would have looked like on his horse and gunn carriage. Reminds me of the Earls Court Royal Tournament. . . Do they still have that? I had a very nice reply from TNA with details of how I can get a search done. EXPENSIVE. . . but they do list some people who will undertake a search on my behalf at a less expensive cost. I might try asking if someone can check the muster rolls for me on the records board. re: Isabella, my feeling is that he might have come from up north but I need a clue and I think I am only going to find it from his service record.
