How do you find children born overseas to military personel 1800s?
« on: Wednesday 26 June 19 09:24 BST (UK) »
Looking for information regarding
Mary Kieley born circa 1843.  Her father John Kieley was a soldier in 74th Regiment of Foot and it looks like he was in the East Indies for 7 years, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa and North America.
He was attested in Limerick, Ireland in 1839.  Service No. 1701
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.
