William PASKE was born on 20 May 1828 in Madras, Tamil Nadu, India. His father was a Colonel in the Madras Horse Artillery.^1,2,3,4,5 He was the son of Thomas Theophilus PASKE and Susan Amelia GOLDINGHAM.^1,2,3 William was baptised on 25 October 1828 in Madras, Tamil Nadu, India.^3,5 On 10 July 1832, at the age of only 4, he sailed to England aboard the Claudine, to be brought up free of the privations of life in India, and was educated at Kensington Grammar School, and at Brighton.^5,6

William started his Army career at the age of 16, when he was nominated for a cadetship in the Honourable East India Company (HEIC) in the 1844 season. He was allocated as a cadet to the Bengal Presidency and arrived at Calcutta aboard the Madagascar in June 1845. He was first attached to the 66th Bengal Native Infantry and later moved to the 28th Native Infantry. He saw service during the Second Anglo-Sikh War with the 28th N.I. which made up part of the Jullunder Doab force under Brigadier (later Major-General, Sir) Hugh Massey Wheeler in the campaign against Ram Singh, between 1848 and 1849. He subsequently earned the Punjab Campaign Medal without a clasp. His obituary in The London Times, dated 2nd March 1908, sheds valuable light on a small yet interesting anecdote regarding the issue of his Punjab Campaign Medal:
In a number of (later) contemporary sources, it has been hinted that William saw service during the first Anglo-Sikh War (December 1845 – February 1846); he would have certainly been in the region during this period, however, neither the 66th or 28th Bengal N.I. took part in any of the major actions of the war; one can therefore surmise he was probably only stationed along the Anglo-Sikh border during the conflict and, as a result, wasn’t eligible to apply for the Sutlej Campaign Medal.
In 1850, following the official annexation of the Punjab, William was appointed to the Frontier Force as adjutant to the 3rd Punjab Infantry which had been formed from the remnants of The Khalsa (the Sikh army), promoted Lieutenant on 1st May 1852, and took part in several campaigns and expeditions against the Hill Tribes on the Peshawar (Northwest) Frontier, including:
When stationed at Cawnpore, he had personal acquaintance with the Nana Sahib of Bithur, who showed great friendship for the officers of William's regiment and often dined in their mess. The Nana would later rise to infamy during the Indian Mutiny in 1857 as the “Butcher of Cawnpore”, when he was implicated in ordering the massacres of British women and children at that station and becoming one of the figure-heads of the rebellion.^5,6

William married Eliza SMALLEY on 5 April 1854 in Madras, Tamil Nadu, India.^7,8,9,5 In June 1855 they returned to Bengal via Calcutta aboard the steamer Oriental. In late 1855 he passed, with honours, the examination for civil employment, and was soon after appointed an Assistant Commissioner in the Punjab Commission. Their first daughter, Agnes Amelia, was born on 7th December 1856 and baptised on 10th May 1857 in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, where William was serving as an Assistant Deputy Commissioner.^5,6

In 1857, when news of the mutiny at Delhi reached Hoshiarpur, precautions were taken by officials to prevent it spreading to the Punjab. William is known to have been employed in watching and pursuing mutineers and mutinous regiments in flight; notably commanding a detachment in pursuit of the Jullundur rebels in 1858. He received the special thanks of the Secretary of State for India, the Governor-General of India and the Chief Commissioner of the Punjab, Sir John Lawrence, for discovering and frustrating a plot formed by the Left Wing of the 4th Bengal N.I. at Hoshiarpur, to murder their Officers and all the Europeans in the station, including his own family. He was subsequently promoted Captain in the 28th Bengal N.I. on 4th June 1857.

A contemporary account summarises events in the region during the Mutiny:
William remained in the Punjab Commission until the end of his service, and was well known in Simla as its zealous Assistant Commissioner. In 1869 he went to Jhelum as Deputy Commissioner. In 1870 he came to England on leave, and on medical advice sent in his papers. He was then placed on the retired list after 40 years of arduous service.^5,6,1,3

In the census of 2 April 1871 in The Grange, Clapham, London, William was listed as aged 42 born in India, the Head of Household; a Lt. Col. H.M. Madras Army, living with his wife Eliza and children Agnes A., Annie E., Arther [Arthur] G., George F., Robert M., and Mabel M. Also listed was two servants.⁸

Also listed was three servants.⁴

His father was listed as Theophilus Paske Deceased, a Colonel. The marriage was witnessed by George Frederick Pask [son], and Agnes Werninck [daughter], and L. Hughes Hewitt?^12,13,14
In the census of 31 March 1901 in 30 Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, London, William was listed as aged 48 [incorrectly enumerated - his age was infact 72] born in India, the Head of Household; a Major General Army Officer, living with his wife Anna, and children Annie, Reginald Pearson, and Frederic. Also listed was three servants.¹⁵ He made a will dated 18 June 1905. He was residing at that time at 30 Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, London.¹⁶

In 1907, his son, Major A.G. Paske, published a book detailing William's services during the Mutiny. It was called "Sixty Years Ago", and tells the story of Major General William Paske's services in India, during the mutiny, in the Bengal Presidency and his experiences and trying adventures for many years. A copy of the book is available in the University of Texas Library.⁵

William died on 29 February 1908 at 30 Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, London, at the age of 79. His obituary was recorded in The Times on 2 March 1908.^1,17,18,6 His estate was probated on 10 April 1908 in London to his son, Arthur Goldingham PASKE.^18,16

Research Note: There seems to be inconsistencies in the 1901 census. It is listed that William, and his wife Anna were aged 48. This was probably to cover up that there was a 41-year gap between them. His children were still living with him, and their ages were also adjusted. If he was 48, he would have been too young to have his adult children.^19,15
