Thank you to everyone who tried to help.
Unfortunately the only info I have is from the census returns and thus is only of limited use - ie trust the info given and HOPE!!
I am amazed at how much info is around. And hats off to all you who are willing to share and educate us novices!
Thanks again
Jane

11th Hussars
Hello.
I have no information on the 11th Hussars and i have just discovered that an ancestor of mine was a Private on the 1881 census, stationed at '11th Hussars Hounslow Barracks' and wondered if anyone had any information on this or where i could find it.
His name is William Howe from Balsham, Cambridgeshire.
Many thanks
Emma C

William Faulks
William Faulks was in the 5th Dragoon Guards. The Inniskillings were the 6th Dragoons. He only arrived in the Crimea on July 6th, 1855 and was eligible for a Crimean Medal, though on the Medal Rolls for the regiment on page 94, his last name was shown as Faux (sic).
Below is the entry I have for him in a forthcoming book:
Faulks, Pte William (1420*)
Jul to Sep 1855: landed 6th Jul; with Service Troops the entire period; 11 days in Regt or Gen Hospital; paid 85 days ordinary pay and 76 days F allowance at 6d per diem with stoppages for 74 days at 4 1/2d per diem [55-3-5]. NB. *Regt. no. 1420 shows alongside the names of two men who arrived on 6 Jul 1855, Edward Mealicott and William Faulks [55-3-5].
Crimean Medal; LN shown as “Faux” on MR [94].
Cheers,
LC

Hi Peggy
I have discovered an ancestor, Patrick Leary who was in the 11th Hussars or cherry pickers and based at Chelsea barracks around 1885 when my grandfather was born. I am wondering if Patrick could have been at the Charge? He may have been known as Patrick O'Leary or Patrick Learey. There seem to be variant spellings of the name.
Hope you may be able to help.
TIA
Pat

Hi Pat,
I don't see any Leary or O'Leary or similar name listed for the 11th.

William Foulkes
I have started a book on the members of the Heavy Brigade and so far have information on all men serving in the Crimea at the time of the Charge, and William Foulkes is not listed. I was unable to find his name on the Medal Rolls, although some of the pages are illegible.
