First Generation
Charles and Eliza's first child, Elizabeth Mary, was born in the Victoria Barrracks, Sydney, two weeks after their arrival.
The Regiment's period of service in Australia was short, and early in 1858 it was ordered to prepare for a tour of duty in Hong Kong, however due to the mutiny in India its destination was changed. On 20th April 1858 the Headquarters of the 77th sailed for Calcutta in HMS Megaera and the remainder of the Regiment followed in the Raby Castle a few days later. They landed at Calcutta on June 13 1858.
Charles was stationed at Fort William, Calcutta from the 1st July to 31st October 1858 before the Regiment was moved to Benares (1559-1860). Here Charles and Eliza's children Charles and Emma were born. Charles also spent the period 1st January 1859 to 31 March 1859 in hospital.
At some stage prior to 1861 Charles, Eliza and Elizabeth returned to Australia possible due to Charles' being discharged, being in poor health. He did not complete his 20 years so did not earn a pension. It is presumed that Charles jnr and Emma died in India.
