Dear Ralph..
I have a sticky one here...James Nelson born 1841, Shankill Belfast... was my greatgrandfather...He joined the Royal East Kent Regiment 3rd regiment of Foot, in Belfast in 1858..he was 18 yrs old. He was sent to Malta in 1859, where he was unfortunately courtmartialed, received 10yrs transportation to Western Australia..later married and raised a family..in Adelaide South Australia...On his marriage certificate was his fathers' name James Nelson..Publican...He married in 1869 to Mary Donovan. born Ireland 1845 ?
That is all I have..nothing more to go on..I would dearly love to trace his parents, who were they.?...but it looks as though I have hit that proverbial brick wall...
I have all the dates this side of Malta..up to his death in Adelaide South Australia.....can you help me at all, please.
