Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm trying to trace information on Mary Rourke. Here's what I know:

c1856 - Mary Rourke born in Co Wicklow
? - married James Donnelly (b1854)
James Donnelly joined the Royal Artillery - we think, the Horse Artillery
c1878 - we think had a daughter, Mary
1881 - on Census in Woolwich, London
1885 -  had a daughter, Dora Ann, in St Thomas, Exeter, Devon - James listed as Gunner

Then we don't know anymore except that Dora Ann married my g grandfather Arthur James Robinson in Jubbulpore, India in 1909. James is listed as an Army Pensioner and a J Donnelly was a witness at the wedding.

Any help gratefully received..

Thanks

Kathryn
