From the Wikipedia article

Matthew Rosamund (also spelled Rosamond) VC (12 July 1823 – 14 July 1866) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. The christening record for Matthew Rosamond in 1823 shows his parents as George Rosamond and his wife Elizabeth. Matthew Rosamond married Bridget Mahoney in Agra, West Bengal on 21 July 1851. The English 1861 census for Eaton Socon in Bedfordshire, shows Matthew Rosamond home from India five years before his death. Just prior to his death, he married Alice Wollen in 1865 in Serampore, Bengal, India. Rosamund was born in the village of St. Neots, Huntingdonshire (some records say Swallow Cliffe, Wiltshire; others say Seaton Town, Bedfordshire), the son and grandson of soldiers.
