Carpenters Excluded from the Union: Westminster
(1863) Each annual report of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners included a list of excluded members, arranged by branch.

In most cases names are given in full.

Outstanding soldiers of the 22nd regiment of Foot
(1860-1870) The 22nd (The Cheshire) Regiment of Foot was in two battalions. The 1st battalion returned to England from India in 1855: the depot was at Parkhurst. In 1869 the battalion was moved to India. The second battalion was also based at Parkhurst, and was sent to Malta in 1859; in July 1865 it was sent to Gibraltar, but the same month redirected to the Mauritius, returning to England in July 1867. Each year just a handful of outstanding soldiers of the regiment were chosen for good conduct medals and gratuities: these are listed here. There were two lists, one for men recommended for the Good Conduct Medal without a gratuity, and one for gratuities - £5 to a private, £10 to a corporal, and £15 to a serjeant. Both lists are indexed here, and each gives rank, name, regimental number, date of recommendation and date of issue. (The sample scan is from the 105th foot)GLADHILL.
