Hello,
I am trying to do some historical background work on the above officer of the "3rd Manchester Rifles", Henry Gee Sutton.
From the London & Edinburgh Gazettes I have gleaned he became a Lt. 8.12.1866, Captain 8.1.1879, Major 21.1.1874 and Lt. Col Commanding 12.7.1876.
It appears he was a solicitor with the firm Tindall, Varey & Sutton, 49 King Street, Manchester.
I have searched Ancestry and FMP and can find no birth, no marriage, no death and not one census return for him. I am guessing at a birth date of 1840 +/- 10 years.
Could anyone assist with any of these and give me a starting point for more research please.
regards
