I have been trying to find more information about my great great garandad, Henry was born in brighton about 1871, he married caroline McCarthy in newhaven in 1896. He had 5 children that i know of. I belive he was in the army. Can anyone help me to find his parents and siblings, i've looked on so many sites and keep coming to a dead end.
Thanks melissa

I don't have the marriage cert, thru the ancestry site i know he married caroline louisa mccarthy in lewis 1896 but couldn't see any parents names.
His first child is annie beard who was also born in 1896.

Caroline was definatley his wife, i managed to find him on the 1911 census with her and my grandads mum and two uncles, that my dad says are our family. I just can't seem to find him previous to his marriage to her.
