(Josiah John DEAN was born in the Parish of Gillingham, near the town of Chatham, in the County of Kent on the 28th of December 1835. Army birth records indicate that Josiah's father was serving in the Royal Sappers and Miners at the time of his birth. As a young lad, prior to entering the Army, Josiah worked as a Tailor, or given his age, more likely as a Tailor's Helper. According to Army records, Josiah spent time in India between 16/11/1857 and 1/8/1860.

India (1857-1860)

Unrest in India led to the mutiny of part of the East India Company's army in 1857. Sapper Dean was also to see active service in the campaign to put down the Sepoy rebellion. Dean saw action in the Battle at Aliwah from the 19th to the 24th of January 1854. The campaign in central India ended in June of 1858, but the 11th Company remained in India until 1860 before it was posted home. For his service Dean was awarded the Indian Mutiny Medal with clasp.

Josiah Dean was placed on the married rolls on the 7th of August 1864. Presumably he married his wife Laura on that date or shortly before. The fact that he was court-martialed for drunkenness on the following day may indicate that he celebrated too much at his wedding reception on the 7th. Dean's service papers do not record the birth of any children while he was in the army.

No information regarding Josiah John Dean or Laura Dean could be found in the 1881 British Census. Similarly, a search of the 1901 British Census produced negative results.) http://hometown.aol.com/reubique/2518.htm
