Hi there,
Could well be, but just not sure. All I have to go on is Robert Gardiner, born c1836 in Ireland. He married Jane (Jean) Friel, also of Irish descent. Unfortunately I don't know of any siblings that Robert may have had as yet, but I will continue to search. His parents were noted as John Gardiner and Mary McKinstry on his marriage cert, but at time of death his mother's name was recorded as being different.
Thank you for all your replies, and I will try and follow some of them up.
Kind regards
