Hi All

Does anybody have any info on Col. P F Venault de Charmilly. All I know is that he married Dorcas Blackwood on 25 July 1799.

Whereabouts did they marry?

Are they ancestors?  If so - please give details of which of their children you are descended from

He married Dorcas Blackwood, daughter of the Irish MP John Blackwood, on 25th July 1799 in London. She is a distant ancestor of mine.
