Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD

Thank you very much.? I had wondered how long he was in the 9th Lancers and when he was discharged.? The number of years seems askew with Frank stating he was in the 9th Lancers at the time of his marriage in 1863. ? His son Frank Charles died in 1880 Dec quarter Vol 2b p139 and I had wondered if that was the final straw for Frank.
Hannah and their children lived with her parents from the time of her marriage to Frank until her parents went into the Workhouse in Brighton in their late 70's, circa 1878 and her name is mentioned as being a problem to the Mendacity Society in Brighton from 1878.? I suspect Frank was a very poor provider.? There is also a 7 year gap between Frank and Hannah's first and second baby.? I had thought he might have been in India with the 9th Lancers during that period but....???

Found a record on FMP for his discharge from 9th Lancers on 6
March 1880 - reason 'igny' which I am guessing is ignominy. He'd
been in 4yrs 4 days. conduct 'VB' (Very Bad?)
