Hello Listers My 3x great grandparents Edward McGrath and Margaret Daley were married at Brecon St Mary 16 April 1829; Edward was a private in 23 Reg Welsh Fusiliers. Margaret's brother Joseph was also married at Brecon St Mary 2 Aug 1829 to Sarah Jones; Joseph's occupation given as 'Nailer'. Does anyone have a connection to these people? I am searching for Edward and Margaret's parents. Kind Regards Mary Australia

Dear Marlene and Jill Thank you for your replies. Edward's wife's name was Margaret not Mary. They had four children that I know of - John born Brecon c1829, Edward born Ireland c 1837, Ann (Johanna) born Newport, Wales c1840 , Frances, born Bristol,GLS. 1842. John, Edward and Ann's dob deduced from 1861 census; I have Francis' birth certificate. In 1861 they were all living in County Durham ENG. - They certainly moved around! On Francis' birth cert. Edward's occupation is stated as labourer - so he has left the army. I haven't found the family on either 1841 or 1851 census. I have had two professional researchers also searching for this family between 1829 and 1861 with no luck. Margaret is a widow in 1861 census. I have Ann's marriage cert for 1858 in Merthyr Tydfil, she married a George King. Thanks again ladies Mary Australia
