Eleanor (Ellen) Welsh married Robert Nixon in Limerick 1818
« on: Saturday 22 September 18 18:18 BST (UK) »
My 3rd Gt Grandmother Eleanor (Ellen) Welsh married an English soldier called Robert Nixon at St Mary Cathedral, Limerick on 26 Dec 1818. He was from Norfolk, England but stationed in Limerick at the time. She was born somewhere in Ireland c 1800 +/- 2 years or so. She died in Jersey, Channel Islands on 11 Oct 1845. Their first child Catherine was born c1821 somewhere in Ireland, she then went onto have other children namely Agnes, Sarah and Frederick in England. They lived for quite a while in St Stephens ward, Norwich, Norfolk, England.

The above information took me many years to come by but now I'm stuck. I can't find any earlier records for Eleanor Welsh and can't be sure where she actually came from or who her family were and I'm 'desperate' to discover more about my Irish roots.

If anybody has any information or suggestions I'd be most grateful.

Thanks very much
Adrian
