In the 1861 census I have found a Thomas Crowder.According to the 1881 and the 1871 he was born in Hampshire in Kings Sombourne.In the 1871 he is a Serjeant Pensioner.
The Thomas Crowder I have found in 1861 is about the right age,born in Hampshire,but although it starts with S doesn't look like Sombourne.
He is described as an inmate and the transcription says "Military Moalding Depot St.Mary Barracks no.1" I presume that "moalding" should be "Holding".
Why would he be described as an inmate and why were they,all from different regiments,being held?
I could not see exactly where this place was.Be grateful if someone could look.
RG9 480
