The IGI stands for the international geneology index which you will find under familysearch run by the church of the laterday saints it,s a usefull site as it is free.
    The best thing you can do to trace your husbands family is to start with his dad,s marriage certificate then hopefully his birth certificate to get on to any of the censuses.
    If your husband,s side are born australians for a couple of generations there are quite a few Rexters in the victoria area of australia.
    England side i can help with uk census
                           Cheers vivian

   Thankyou for that quick reply, I,v not long come back from going up to the national archives in feb where i finnally found James Mcnamara,s papers for discharge from the 7th royal dragoon guards, also found out his birth place as Langford in the county of Langford,
  I,m now trying to trace his family so trying to find out whether son John returned with them to dublin or not,
   Anyway thankyou so much for repling, i,ll have to find another means of tracing him.
Thanks vivian

« on: Saturday 01 March 08 20:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
      would anyone be able to do a 1851 census look up for me in the Dublin area for a James Mcnamara and his family he retired from the army in 1843 in gosport southampton i,m trying to find out if all the family returned to ireland with him.
Mary his wife. sons Charles , John, William, and a daughter mary these were all on 1841 in ipswich barracks in suffolk.
     I know that James is on the 1863 directory for dublin with his son Charles Rexter Mcnamara.  but i,d like to try and find where his son John may have gone to either with them to ireland or ? into the army.
   any help i would be most gratefull
                                     Thanks vivian

Hi Mary
    Thankyou for the christening i,ll put it on my possible page, james mcnamara was also christened in temple micheal in 1797 so i,m wondering whether there was a barracks there and james,s parents were also  connected to the 7th dragoon guards. as james went in to the army at the age of 13 in 1809. another mystery to unravel.
                                    cheers vivian

Hi
i,v just come across your Rexter family on here while browsing i,v also just discovered a Charles Rexter who could possibly be put my husbands tree
Charles Rexter born 1759 in fermough ireland i think it,s enniskillen he was a troop sgt major in the 7th dragoon guards i have a copy of his discharge papers from 1819 when he was 60yrs old
  we think it,s his daughter Mary Rexter born approx 1806 on 1841 census and is married to  James Mcnamara (my husbands great great grandfather) he came from longford, and was also in the 7th dragoon guards as a trumpet major also he was prodestant.  also there first son was called Charles Rexter Mcnamara
   i,v discovered the Rexter name is very few and far between on the census, i,d love to find out more about this family
