Thanks for setting up this group.? My ancestry brickwall is my 3x Grt Grandfather:

Enlisted in Capt Giles Company at Carlisle?1st Battalion HM 53rd Regiment of Foot Feb in 1804. Sent to India where he stayed for the rest of his life and 4 subsequent generations

Through Ancestry.com his father may have been Alexander Bean and mother may have been Sarah Sykes both of Ulleskelf but as yet not proven.
