Elizabeth KERWIN of County Wexford

[Prussian1874]

I would appreciate help to find the birth/baptism and marriage of my ggg grandmother who is believed to be Elizabeth KERWIN (GRO birth records for many of her children refers) born about 1838 in County Wexford, according to the 1911 English Census.

Elizabeth married Charles NASH (born Chiseldon, Wiltshire, England in 1835) about 1860. No such marriage has been found in the UK or Ireland. NASH is sometimes transcribed as NAISH.

Charles was in the British Army (76th Foot) and stationed in Belfast, Dublin and possibly Waterford in the early 1860s.

The couple lived in Radstock, Somerset, England from at least the 1871 Census and had 11 children.
