Hi
From 1851 census onwards I've got a Richard Rose, b. Sheffield abt 1811, and wife Louisa, b. Manchester abt 1817 and their seven children. The first two children
Joshua Wilmot Rose
and
Martha Charlotte Rose
were b. 1841 and 1843 in Poland, or "Poland, Russia" as it says on a couple of census records.
From the third child onwards, all of them were born in Wadsley or Ecclesfield, Yorkshire.
This makes me think that Richard was a soldier. I'm not expecting to find the name of a humble foot-soldier on any lists, but wondered if anyone could point me towards any information as to what the British Army were doing in Poland around the early part of the 1840s. I've had a bit of a Google, but can't really find anything relevant.
Thanks
