Mary Dickinson & James Waller Completed
« on: Saturday 12 March 05 06:30 GMT (UK) »
Mary Dickinson/Dickenson & James Waller married in Manchester Cathedral Lancashire in 1807. At the time James was in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and later fought at Waterloo in 1815.   He was discharged from the army in 1818, worked for a time in Manchester before joining the Royal New South Wales Veterans Corp, sailing to Sydney Ausralia in 1826.

There is a great deal of information available about James & Mary once they arrived in Australia but we know very little about their lives in Lancashire before they married, the one detail we have is the name of Mary's father, Abraham, and apart from this we know nothing more except that Mary was born about 1790 and James in 1786.

Is there a kind soul reading this who would be able to find a record of Mary's birth?  Or any reference to her father Abraham?
