Philadelphia Information

[nedda]

Hi,

Just wondering if someone can advise me a few things:

I am trying to somehow confirm the birth of a John Kilchrist, believed born Philadelphia, (noted on a census he is a british subject) about 1766.

Only reason we can think he is born in Philadelphia, and returns back to England is because his father was in the British Army.

So I know that this timeframe is before any official records for births, but is there ANY way of trying to find this information.

I was watching a show on SBS last night which was talking about the War and how in 1881 the British Army retreated. So I was wondering if there would be any records about how they would have retreated families back to England.

Thanks for any help

Nedda

Hi Aghadowey,

Thanks for posting those, it was actually quite interesting to go back and see the different things I've been chasing over the years.

Anyway I recently found a lot more information has been put online in the various area's of family tree research and was really hoping that another area that has increased in information was Philadelphia records.

This family is so frustrating!!

Thanks
Nedda
