Sands - Mary Anna or Anna Mary born 1847

[fmacsg]

I am trying to find information on my great, great grandmother Mary Anna  or Anna Mary Sands who was born in 1847, location in Ireland unknown. 

She married, date unknown, George Roberts whose regiment, the 40th Regiment of Foot, was in Drogheda, Co Meath in 1869 and then in Richmond Barrack, Dublin from, I believe, 1870.

While in Ireland they had two daughters, Clara born 1870 and Ada born 1872 before George Roberts' regiment went to India.  I have a copy of Ada Roberts baptism record for 9 May 1872 for the parish of St Jude in Dublin.  I have found nothing on Clara.

Gggp Roberts remarried in India in 1884 and on the marriage record he is listed as a widower.  He was born in Melton Mowbray, England in 1840.

I would like to find information on Mary Anna's parents, place of birth, wedding date and/or death.

Any help greatly appreciated - thank you. Fiona

There's a few Mary Anna  or Anna Mary Sands marriages around the right time (1867, 1870 etc) - including two in Ardee close to Meath - but I dont see any cross matches to a George Roberts

maybe they married somewhere else ...

I see Ada's baptism and birth records in Kilmainham, but nothing likely for Clara - where in Ireland was she born ?

That was fast. 

I have no idea where Clara was born.  I know that both she and Ada married military men in India in the 1880s.  Ada is my Ggg Mother.

Family lore has it that Mary Anna /Anna Mary was in India but returned home when she became unwell.  It is possible too that her father was military.    That and her quick temper is all I have to go on. - Fiona
