Have been down to the Archives again and found out a bit more for you. Most of it really just puts detail on what you already knew.
Edward Mackay did indeed die in transit to England; this was on the 2nd February 1840. No details of what killed him, but I believe he was on board a ship called ‘Diamond’, which incidentally, was the ship John Cassidy went out to India on (very possibly on its return trip).
I’ve attached photos of:
Muster Roll WO12/7272: (runs from April 1839 to March 1841)
WO12/7272 shows him ‘Embarked for England’ in October and then ‘Died at Sea 2nd February’ (oddly this is in the November 1840 column – presumably when they arrived in England)
WO12/7272 (2) is at the end of the quarter section of the Muster Roll, here there is a separate listing for new recruits and those who have left the regiment – including those died. This has details of when he enlisted (8 September 1819); where he was born (looks like Currins – Currin is a civil parish in C. Monaghan – ref. www.irelandgenweb.com/monaghan/) and his job on enlistment (labourer).
WO25/1947 is the entry in the 63rd Casualty Return (1838 – 1842) – reiterates what was in WO12/7272. Unfortunately there are no other associated documents in the Casualty Roll (some men have details of will and possessions attached, but Edward isn’t one of them – bugger).
WO25/1947 (2) is just a close up of this.
Next time I’ll have a scout round to see if there is any more to be found, but I think that may be it. I asked about records of his family and they may be in one of the WO25 embarkation and disembarkation documents – will check these.
As for James Bird he did die at Guznee – but this was 1839, not 1837 as you thought. I couldn’t find him in the 1837 casualties, so I looked in the Muster Rolls and he was alive and well and on guard duty July/August 1837.
By the time I’d got him it was closing time (what is it with your relatives, they only leap out of the pages when the place is about to shut)
Anyway he’s in:
WO12/2046: Muster Roll for 2nd Foot (Queen's Royal) 1839 – 1840. He’s sick at Guznee in the July Muster and died in the August Muster (died on 31st July)
WO12/2046 (2) is at the end of the quarter section of the Muster and shows him just as ‘Died’, those either side of him are marked as ‘Died of Wounds’, so I’m assuming that he didn’t die of wounds from battle. I’ll go back and check out the WO25/1514 (2nd Casualty Return) next time, unfortunately when I looked at this earlier in the day I was looking at 1837, not 1839. I’ll also see if I can trace when he joined which may show where he enlisted/was born.
Anyway that’s it for now, will be in touch. As I say, this really just confirms what you know, but hope it’s of use.
