Delisle Rule my 3rd X great grandfather.
Ive been searching his records for a few weeks now ever since i bought his marriage certificate.

Marriage- Delisle Rule and Frances Hand
8th sept 1845
Delisle Rule- of age - Bachelor - Stonemason .Father- John Rule (dead) stonemason.
Frances Hand - of age - Spinster -
Residence at the time of marriage- Parish of Tipton- west bromwich
Witness'es -Charlotte Hand.

On the marriage of Delisle's Daughter Elizabeth Rule my 2nd great grandmother, 1875 Wednesbury staffs-
Delisle was a Soldier - witness - Frances Rule.

Delisle must have joined the army before the 1851 census,  He was known in army records as Lisle Rule.
I have records of him being a Deserter from the army and held at York in 1852 . Then again for disertion in 1854 being held at Canterbury -sentenced for 365 days.

I have a record of him in the barracks at Brighton as a Inniskillen Dragoon in 1857 -this time not for desertion- just a working soldier.

Elizabeth Rule married Robert Duncan- a shoemaker in west bromwich-in 1875 , but in the 1861 census she was 11 years old working as a Servant for a coachman and his wife in Roebuck street west brom, just around the corner from her mother Frances on Union street.

I am still trying to find a birth date and death date for Delisle/Lisle Rule, and still trying to find a Mothers name and a place of birth,,   if anyone can help ,please do get in touch
