Hi,

I am looking for the family of Thomas Meade born around 1809. He enlisted with the East India Company around 1824 and travelled to India. HIs enlistment paper says he is from "Kilpeacon, LImerick". 

However, Information received from another group is that he was born in Castlemartyr, Cork and arrived in India around 1827. 

Any information on his parents / family or the exact place he comes from would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Karen
