In Reply to: WILLIAM & JAMES GARDINER OF DUBLIN IRELAND by David Gardiner  of 1321 

I have now located the birth certificate of William Dudley Gardiner and his father is named George, a soldier. I guess his birthdate would be around 1820.

A distant descendant quotes family hearsay that he was a military officer involved in a massacre in India but there is no proof at all.

I would like to know all about this man.

Hi jenny is David Your Cousin

 

Mike

Jenny If he is the Correct one This is info plus Pics of Him and his Grave

 

 

He was about 34 years old, and a sergeant in the 57th Regiment of Foot (later The Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own)), British Army during the Crimean War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 22 March 1855 at Sebastopol, Crimea, Sergeant Gardiner acted with great gallantry upon the occasion of a sortie by the enemy, in having rallied the covering parties which had been driven in by the Russians, thus regaining the trenches. On 18 June during the attack on the Redan he himself remained and encouraged others to remain in the holes made by the explosions of the shells, and whence they were able to keep up a continuous fire until their ammunition was exhausted, and the enemy cleared away from the parapet.

He later achieved the rank of Colour-Sergeant. He died Lifford, Co Donegal, 17 November 1891. He is buried at Clonleigh Church of Ireland Churchyard, Lifford, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment (Queens and Royal Hampshires) (Dover Castle, England).

On George Gardiners Gravestone it has the Following

Jenny we are trying to establish a link to the Gardiner Family of Dublin.There is a place there Called Gardiner Street.It was Built by a Luke Gardiner.So far im unable to link George with this Family.But feel there is some Kind of Relationship.

Luke Gardiner is listed in Burkes Landed Gentry,As an Architectect.One of Lukes Daughters Married Thomas Burgh, MP for Harristown & Athy.Would be Nice if Linked to these

This is a Section on Thomas Burgh

 

Thomas Burgh, MP for Harristown & Athy
Thomas and Margaret Burgh had two sons, Thomas III and Richard, and two daughters, Mary and Catherine. Born on 23rd January 1754, Thomas was only five years old when his father died and he succeeded to Oldtown. After graduating from Trinity College Dublin, he was called to the Irish Bar in 1779. As part of the Duke of Leinster's party, the soft-spoken Kildare man was elected MP for Harristown and Athy in the Irish House of Commons. A close ally of his cousin John Foster, Thomas increased the family wealth by becoming one of the chief undertakers of the Grand Canal. In the summer of 1784 he married Florinda Gardiner, a granddaughter of Luke Gardiner, the property tycoon who developed what became central Dublin in the 1740s and 1750s. Her sister was married to Lord Clancarty and her brother Luke Gardiner had been elected MP for Co. Dublin the previous year. It was in that capacity that Luke introduced the first Catholic Relief Acts of 1778 and 1782, partially dismantling the penal laws. Luke was created Viscount Mountjoy in 1795. In June 1798 he was killed by rebel pikemen while trying to negotiate a surrender at New Ross.

Thomas & Florinda de Burgh's Children

Thomas III and Florinda had eight sons of whom two drowned and a third was killed in action while serving with the Royal Navy. The third son Walter Burgh was Vicar of Naas and married Elizabeth Langrishe. The seventh son John was a major with the 93rd Highlanders and married Emma Hunt. The youngest, William, Rector of Ardboe, Co. Tyrone, and St. John's of Sandymount, Dublin, fathered an impressive eighteen children of whom Maurice was Archdeacon of Kildare and Hubert took Holy Orders and lived in the Vatican.

Jenny we Can Rule out Luke gardiners Family I tracked them Forward to

Charles John Gardiner, 1st and last Earl of Blesington He died on 25 May 1829 from apoplexy, without surviving male issue.

So No relation On that Side Could have been a Cousin
