Hi, Adam Nixon came to NZ as a Fencible Soldier with the 47th of Foot in 1847 on the ship Ramillies. He had joined the British Army 12 years prior.He was married to Elizabeth O Rielly, they were from County Cavan, Ireland.Would anyone know when and where he may have first enlisted or where i can find out. I am trying to find out where he was actually born and who his parents were. He was my G G Grandfather and i am at a dead end, thanks for taking the time to read this and any help much appreciated.
