McBride/Barfield

[alju]

Hi,
I am seeking information on a JAMES McBRIDE, MARRIED TO BRIDGET BARFIELD.
James was a soldier of The 47th Lancashire regiment stationed in Malta in 1840 where they gave birth to a daughter.
On my Great Grandmother's marriage certificate ,Name Eliza McBride born Malta 1840.
On checking the Malta website there is a Bridget McBride born that year.
The 47th arrived Malta Feb 1837 with reinforcements coming in march 1840.
The Regiment left Malta in Feb 1841 to go to the West Indies.
Any help in finding anything on either James or his wife Bridget Barfield would be a help.
Thanks
Alan

Hi

Can you explain the Lancashire connection please - you have posted on the Lancashire board

Hi  Carol,

I posted it on the Lancashire site, because as he was in the Lancashire Regiment, he may have come from that area.
As I have no idea where to start, I thought that I may try there.

Thanks for asking

Alan

It might be worth looking on www.findmypast.co.uk for his Army records as these should help. They have records for this time.

Apologies if you already have these.
