<p class="p2">William Cree of Lisburn is Cree ID No. 9844 on the <a href="http://www.cree.name" target="_blank">www.cree.name</a> website. The 1st Presbyterian Church register records that he was born in Lisburn on the 2 April 1834 but no further information has been previously recorded about his life. William was the son of James Cree (Cree ID No. 8275) and his wife Mary Ann Chapman.</p>
<p class="p2">The recent discovery of his service record reveals that he was No. 2681 Sapper William Cree and that he served in the army for 8 years and 288 days of which over 5 years was spent overseas. He served in India and Mauritius and received the Indian Mutiny medal. He joined the Royal Artillery on the 11 October 1854 and was discharged as unfit for service due to a spinal injury on the 1 August 1863. On enlistment at the age of 20 years and 6 months he was described as a carpenter by trade and on on his discharge his features were of fresh complexion, grey eyes, light brown hair and that his intended place of residence was Lisburn. </p>
<p class="p2">The Ireland Civil Registration Indexes indicate that William Cree did not live very long after his discharge from the army since his death is recorded in Lisburn in 1864 at the age of 29 years.</p>
