John Lennon, b. circa 1806, Rosscommon
I am trying to find the parents of the above, but have so far come up empty. He enlisted in 1823, attested at Kilkenny 1824 into the 96th Regiment of Foot.
He was three years in Bermuda, eight years in Nova Scotia, and then went to Australia for the rest of his life, (as far as I know.)
He married Mary Keenan, but where and when is a mystery. They produced my Gt.Grandfather Henry in 1847 at Port Arthur, Tasmania.
If any of this is familiar, any info on John's parents (or siblings) would be greatly appreciated.
John.
