Hi,
I've finally found a document which confirmed a date and place of death for someone in my tree I have been trying to kill off for a number of years.
He is Joseph Eggington and he died 29th August 1866 in Malta. This was from an Army document which confirms he was a soldier in the Yorks/Lancs 84th Foot Regiment.
I would like to know where he is buried but I don't know where to start with burials in Malta and wondered if anyone here had any experience?
I don't think he was returned to Sheffield as I have had no success locating him in any of the Sheffield churchyards or cemeteries of the time.
Any help is appreciated :)
