Need help with a BIG brick wall please Does anyone know which British regiments (if any) had been stationed in Malta before being sent to Australia between 1828-48? I am having no end of difficulty locating a birth record for Margaret BARNES (BYRNES, BURNS) in Malta to Thomas BARNES (possibly a tailor in the Army) and Margaret Anne Gwynne. Apparently Margaret BARNES' grandparents (John) Thomas and Margaret GWYNNE were also in Malta-Thomas GWYNNE also in the military before they all came to Australia. Margaret BARNES' marriage certificate (to John HAYDEN) is registered in Lower Portland in March 1850 but doesn't have any details about parents for either one. I believe Margaret BARNES was looked after by a SULLIVAN family after her parents died not long after they arrived in Australia as she was often to as Margaret SULLIVAN and there were close connections to this family and called one of them her "half-brother".
