Hello list! My 3 x great grandmother, Margaret HART was born in Dublin in 1804. I believe she was a governess. My 3 x great grandfather, John MARTIN was a coastguard stationed at Kilmichael near Wicklow, Dalkey nee Dublin, then Dublin South. Apparently they eloped together and moved to Kent where he continued to be in the coastguard service. Would there have been many places in 1829 where she could have been a governess? Who were the wealthy people in Dublin at this time who could have employed her? Any help much appreciated! Lyn Freeman --------------------------------- All New Yahoo!
