Tipperary / Re: If anyone needs help in Tipperary - Begley family
« on: Sunday 04 October 09 08:18 BST (UK)  »
hello Annie, I'm new to this chat stuff so bear with me! my husband's family have roots in Tipperary.

His gt grandmother Elizabeth Begley was born in Cahir in 1867, her father John was a soldier in the Hampshire regiment.

John was baptised on 15 April 1842 in Nenagh - father Thomas Begly and mother Nancy Cummins. God parents William and Betty Begley.

John married Mary O'Donaghue probably around 1860 in Ireland I think - both very young and unusual for a soldier. I have looked at military BMD and have found a Mary Begley b in Athlone in 1862 - no further traces in UK censuses for this family. next child born in Shanghai and John spent most of his army career in India. Any leads on his marriage or ancestry or that of his wife appreciated.
