henry josiah barnard/ coltishall

[perseus]

Hi

I'm trying to locate Henry Josiah
He was born in 1843 in coltishall
parents William Barnard & Ann Sexton
siblings
William Sexton b 1829
James b 1833
Robert b 1835
then Henry James.
i think i have him on the 1861 census in Pockthorpe Barracks Norwich.
I have a Henry Barnard on the 1871 census sergeant in the 10th Hussars in Surrey. Is there a link?
Then I can't find him on 1881
on 1891 I have a Henry in Muswell hill, army pensioner. Then no further sign.

either these are 2 different Henrys or he had 2 wives.
in 1871 he was married to Susan b Barnet c 1846
in 1891 his wife's name was Harriet b Highgate, b 1852

Sad to say I know nothing of military matters, though I did have a look at the 10th Hussars on the net.
Is there anywhere that I might get army records, or is it too far back?

Fingers crossed !!!!

I managed to get Service documents for Henry, and I'm delighted .
I am still looking for a death for him though. He spent 20 odd years in the army and was discharged in Shorecliffe.

Any ideas?
He married a Jane Pidgeon in 1870, and I don't know what happened to her. Henry spent the middle years of his service abroad.

part 4....

The family seem to have lived at Hobbies (Great Hautbois) just north of Coltishall, but in the same parish.

William was buried at Coltishall 22 Jul 1867 (entry no. 127), aged 67 and of Great Hautbois
Ann was buried at Coltishall 14 May 1881 (entry no. 346), aged 81

As to finding out when Henry Josiah died - if he was in the army, his pension record should show when payment was stopped.

Hi Geoffers

Many thanks for all your info re Henry. Where can I find out about Henry's pension payments. I have his date of discharge, but nothing after that.

Really appreciate your help.

hi geoffers

Taking you up on your offer of 'look-ups'!

A couple of things you could perhaps look up for me.
Any info on Ann Sexton's family would be great.
And also James Barnard. He married Harriet Allard and I'd like to know something about his family.

Cheers

Maggie
