George Wheeler in Malta

[mauricej]

I have so far traced my wifes Wheeler family back to about 1767 in Somerset but there Is a more recent connection to Malta I would like to explore.

I have George Wheeler, born Bristol abt Dec 1844, in the1871 census he is a Corporal in the Army Service Corps; RG 10 / 2041 / 63 / p 14.

George Wheeler married Clara Jones in Dec 1874 in Portsea, Hants., and their first child, Anne, is born 187 5in Portsmouth.

It appears that he was deployed o Malta where three other children were born, of whom two sadly died: Minnie born 1878 died1880, Richard born 1879 died 1880 and Frederick born 1880.

In the1881census, v, he is back in Cheshire as a Warrant Officer.

However, it is the Malta years I would like to find more information on; the dates of births and deaths, were the two 1880deaths connected?

Cananyone help, or point me in the right direction?

Thank-you,

Maurice
