Thomas STANBRO / STANBRA, 80th Foot 2nd Anglo-Burmese War

[Mark]

Dear All

Do any of our members have a subscription to Find My Past who would be willing to help me out? I am currently trying to research a Thomas Stanbro (also seen spelt Stanbra) of the 80th Regiment of Foot who fought in the Second Anglo-Burmese War. So far on Ancestry I 'think' I have located the correct 1861 and 1871 Census images for him. However, I was wondering if his service records may have survived?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Mark

I have only recently subscribed to FMP so am pleased to get my monies-worth.

There is a service record to your man, Regt No.3269, born @1817, Fenny Compton, Banbury, Oxfordshire. Burma Medal confirmed, but he also looks to be entitled to the Sutlej Medal with clasps for Moodekee and Ferozeshurhur.

Hi Mark

Thank you but I have a copy of his service record from Find you past. I see you were interested in his medals do you know what medals he received and any other information about his time in the army?

As far as I know he was entitled to the Sutlej Medal and India General Service Medal. Other than his service records and a copy of the South Staffords regimental history I don't know any extra details. He will be a future research project for me when time permits.
