thanks for your reply ...
The 1851 England census at Weedon Beck barracks, Northants shows the commandant as Arthur Alex Dalzell. I believe this to be the 10th Earl of Carnwath. If I understand correctly he was Colonel in chief of the 88th foot - Connaught Rangers.
Matthew gives his rank as private age as 32 born in Lurgan, Armagh.
Mary age 36, Derryade, Armagh
John age 8, born Guernsey
Thomas, age 6 born Hull, Yorkshire
on a separarate sheet is Joseph, soldier age 15 born Derryade.
The 1861 Wales census shows Matthew (age 40) Ireland and Thomas (age 14) b. Hull together with a different wife, Mary Ann, and two fairly new children - Emma J and Frederick.
Joseph is also in Cardiff in 1861 at a different address (rather interestingly a brothel) giving age as 24 and born Ireland.
1871 Cardiff - Matthew now age 41, Lurgan with Mary Ann and children Emma J, Edwin F and William H
1881 Cardiff Matthew age 60, Ireland with Mary Ann, Frederick and William but also Joseph returned age 38, born Ireland.
in the 1891 census Mary Ann is a widow.
