Notes
Lieut. Gen. Sir H.S. KEATING, K.C.B., was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Cheltenham.
The Principal Monuments erected in memory of Captain BOYD, R.N., are at Kingstown, Co. Dublin (close to where he perished), and in St. Patrick's National Cathedral, Dublin. The monument referred to above was "erected by thirty members of the congregation of this church, in which his brother [the present Dean of Exeter] ministered for eighteen years.
Lieut-Gen. FIDDES. The Christian name of this officer
was Thomas only. A very short obituary notice appears in the Cheltenham
Examiner of April 15, 1863, which speaks of him as "Major-General Fiddes."
According to this paper he had been a resident in Cheltenham for nearly twenty
years. A cadet of 1804, he became colonel (regimental rank) Aug. 9, 1843, and
lieutenant-general in the army Sept. 15, 1856. At the time of his decease he is
entered as colonel of the 5th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, and "on furlough"
(Indian Army and Civil Service List, 1863).
Colonel Fiddes (he did not become a major-general until June 20, 1854) finally
returned to England on permanent furlough February 10, 1845, and died at his
residence, Oakfield, Cheltenham, April 13, 1863, at the age of eighty-one. He
was of an old Scottish family, Fiddes, Futhes, or Fuddes, and was, it is
believed, married.
