Further Information	This ‘man’ doesn’t appear on WO22/226 list of men who traveled on “NORWOOD” 1867. Child’s birth does appear on the Surgeon’s Log. Suggest this man replaced George GARNER at last minute prior to sailing due to death of GARNER. April 11th 1867 Private Henry Garrish and his wife joined the ship at Portland but as there was no sailing order for his wife the surgeon contacted the Director of Transport Services for permission for her to accompany him to WA. –Garrish was also without a change of clothing as he had not received any advance of pay. The order must have been forwarded as the ship sailed on the 18th April with Guard Private Henry & Ann Garish British Army Worldwide Index 1851 Henry Garrish (sic) 2664 Private 4th foot location Devonport 1861Henry Garish 3018 Private 1st Btn 8th Foot location Gosport Discharge due to chronic hepatitis. 1851 Census HO 107/1882/297/79 Military Hospital Stoke Demerel Devon England Henry Garish is an unmarried man of 19 years a private in the 4th Regiment Army a patient born St Edmonds Wiltshire 1861 Census RG09/647/54/19 Alverstoke Gosport Hampshire Henry Garish is an unmarried man aged 28 a private in the 1st/8th Regt born Wilton Wiltshire
