Brecon Barracks - William SOMMERVILLE

[mcleana]

Hi

Looking for information on a William Somerville born in wales around 1842.  I am sure his father Richard Somerville born Glasgow around 1805, was stationed at Brecon Barracks and was a Colour Sergeant in the 25th Regiment of foot.  Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

regards

1841 Census Richard is in Brecon Barracks and 1851 at home;

1851 Scotland Census
27 Main St, Calton, Lanarkshire
Richard SOMERVILL, 45, Head, Mar/Wife Mary, Chelsea Pensioner, born Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Mary, 26, Wife, Mar, Shopkeeper, born Glasgow
WILLIAM, 9, Son, Scholar, born England
John, 4, Son, born Auchterarder, Perthshire
Thomas, 2, Son,  born Perth, Perthshire

Marriage;
Richard SOMMERVILLE
Mary SMITH
23 January 1846, Auchterarder, Perthshire
(Extracted Marriage IGI)

Now I thought by Marys age in 1851 Census there may be a second Marriage so looks like William had another Mother and not Mary.

1841 Census in Brecon/Wales Barracks we have;
MARGARET Somerville, 25, Soldiers Wife, born Ireland
Mary Ann, 3
Charles, 1
Children not born in County

Might be related although a submitted entry on the IGI;
Remember he was a Soldier who could be stationed anywhere and Margaret is born Ireland;
Richard SOMERVILLE/Margaret MAHONY, 1836, Diocese of Cashel and Emly, Tipperery, Ireland

William keeps switching between being born Wales/England which makes it hard to find his Birth Cert Reg which I presume you do not have?
Do you have his Marriage Cert?
