James Kelly, 1846(Scotland)-1931, was an apothecary in the ISMD. Based on his children’s births, he was here:
1872 Seetapore
1873 Asst Apothecary 1st Batt 3rd Reg, Royal [Horse] Artillery, Lucknow
1874 Seetapore
1879 NainiTan
1882 Ferozepore
1884 Murree
1901 retired as Snr Asst Surgeon, honorary rank Captain.
1931 died, Sussex.
I would like to understand the relationship between ISMD and the Army. Would you expect him to be in Army muster lists? Army medal lists? Are there separate ISMD lists I should be looking for?Hello Alan – short answer – NO, your man will not be in Army Muster or Medical Lists.
For a fuller understanding of the ISMD, suggest that you read the section on Apothecaries in the FIBIwiki http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Apothecary. I think that for the later time period of his service that you may find James Kelly in the India Office Lists (directories).
You will also find source information in Baxter’s Guide and Fibis Fact File No.7 “Some major sources for Ancestors in the India Public Service” should also be helpful.
