I'll see what I can find. What I do know as of now is that Mr Faith was a Quartermaster Sergeant when he was discharged after the war. :)
Edit: Ok, I've found a good amount of information that I hope you're satisfied with :D. Mr Faith's full name is James Beauregard (or Bogard) Faith. He enlisted on July 11, 1862 in Captain Weaver's 71st Illinois Infantry, which became Company "G" 71st Illionois Infantry. He then sometime after enlisted in the 10th Illinois Cavalry, though I've not been able to find the date.
Here is a photo of Mr Faith:

and a general index card:

Also, all the records I've found on him have said he was born in Petersburg, Illinois or Gibson, Indiana. So maybe his father was an English immigrant?
Mr Bramley,on the other hand, was indeed born in Liverpool, England in 1839. He arrived in New York on June 28th, 1860. He married a native New Yorker by the name of Mary. I've not been able to find her maiden name.

Thanks for the imput thats strange I was sure he was born in england I will have to check I will probably find out where he was born and who he married today if I can find the bloody papers.
