Family History Beginners Board / Re: Information about James Smith/Smyth and Alice Gainsford
« on: Sunday 11 December 11 11:25 GMT (UK)  »
I need some help with this. I believe Elizabeth's father was in the 41st Regiment which was stationed in Ireland from about 1816-1820. She was born in Dublin in 1817. The family were not RC but I don't think they were CofI either. As her father was in the Army are there any particular places to look for information?

Hi Loron,
Elizabeth Burns was my great, great grandmother and I have all the information about the family from when they arrived in Australia. I believe William Burns died around 1855 as two of the children were put into a boarding school for the poor in Liverpool. At the time of her marriage her name was Smith (as shown on records) and have traced several James Smiths in Army records but have got no further. Maybe the National Archives in Dublin would have the record of her birth.

Which registration district would Rathowen, in County Westmeath belong to? I am trying to trace members of the Newman Family on the Family Search site.

Killoloe is beautiful however its a long time since I've been there! I think there may be a William in the family but I'm not sure. When I was there I did look at the Parish registers at the Church of Ireland and found a John, William, Stephen and Thomas one of whom could be Sarah's father, however that's the question!!

Annie age 56 and Patrick age 31 (my husband's grandfather) appear on the 1911 Census but we are not sure where they were before that.
