Surnames: NELSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WWC.2ACI/3238 Message Board Post: Hi I posted back in July but have since found out some more info. My great great grandfather, John Nelson served in the 43rd regiment, light infantry. I know this regiment was stationed in Ireland in about 1848. Sometime in there he married an Irish woman by the name of Margaret (maiden name unknown). On the 1881 census and the 1901 census she is listed as coming from Kilkenny. They had a daughter Jane Nelson who was born in Ireland in about 1849/1850 - I believe she was also from Kilkenny. Is there anyway I can confirm this. Thankyou
