Hi - can anyone help or give me any advice where to look?
I am working on a pedigree for a friend, his ancestry is really interesting, on his mothers side he is descended from John Sale 1758-1827 who was a fairly famous church musician and taught music to the Royal family. There was an acknowledged relationship between this gent and the Duke of Wellington, whose grandmother was Elizabeth Sale the 'eldest daughter' of John Sale registrar of Dublin and MP for Carysfort. Elizabeth married in 1719 (in Dublin) so was probably born about 1695, so far I have been unable to find out anymore about her birth family and any brothers and sisters. I think John Sale the musicians father was another John (1734-1802) married to an Alice, but I can't find the information that joins the two branches up.
Can anyone help?
