Wow! Brian

How cool is that ? did his postings match up with what we read about?
Shame about no family stuff - that really would have been a bonus!
Although you have found out a lot about the family already!

Hope everything is OK with you!

Hi Brian,

Glad to hear your news ;D  you mentioned that he was in Malta, but didn't say when.

The National Archives of Malta have an interesting web page with a link to The Malta Family History web-site which has some interesting stuff about the Army in Malta from the time you may be talking about

Hi Wendi,
Found an absolutely fascinating site which has a veritable mine of information on all troop movements, garrisons, marriages, deaths and births in Malta.
Try looking at:

It's great isn't it ;D I am hugely indebted to them, as after years of hunting found my GGGrandparent's married in Malta in 1867, only because they had recorded it on the site.  I'm sure I'd have never found it without that site.

Hope your as lucky as I was, All the best

Hi Wendi,
Not quite as lucky as you, but they did give me the movements of the Rifle Brigade ( he had tranfered from 44th foot at this time ) in and out of Malta, but nothing related to a birth on the island I was looking for.

Owh, sorry Brian :( but at least you know when he was there now, and hey, don't forget, the GRO has a whole specific department just for Oversea's BMD.  I found them helpful too.

All best wishes
Wendi

Hi Wendi,
Chanced upon the Overseas section of www.1837online and I managed to get all of the births for this family throughout the postings for Hny Cordial.
Lucky Strike as they say.
