Hi Shirley,no i have,nt got the cert as yet it was alady who sent me the message she thought it might possable be her as Bernard was in the 3rd battalion riffle brigade,thought if i could find his regtiment serving in India then i would have the right couple

Have you actually bought the cert as there are 4 couples on the GRo record so how would you know which one Mary may have married?

You have her on the 1851 census aged 15 so a little young to have married in 1851 too. although i know its poss as I have a grt gran who was 15 years ten months when she married!. The only way to eliminate .or not, would be to buy the marriage cert if you cant find her on later census as Mary Riley

Yes i have her on the 1851 census with her family
Henry age 38,private soldier born Ireland (father
mother,Bridget age 34 born in Ireland
Mary age 15 ,American British subject
Elizabeth age 10 American british subject
Ellen age 7,Americian british subject
Ann age 4,born Brompton,Kent
Henery ,age 2 born Brompton ,Kent
her sister Ann gave interview to the Sunday news in 1927 were she spoke about Mary her sister,it says mary went to have tea with Queen Victoria for her bravery during the war.

I'd try and figure out what award it was she received and work from there.

Do you have her in 1851?

Rose

Sorry Rose always get muddled up,Mary was born in 1834 in the U.S.A her sister Anne was my g,grandmother,Mary and her family came back to England Kent if i can find out if Bernard Rileys regt was in the Indian Munity than i,ll no ive got the right one Mary was sent for by Queen Victoria she sent acoach to bring Mary to the palace for her bravery in the war as she climbed over slain bodies to bring water back to her hubby i no shes buried in Camberwell with honours ,but with out adate when she died and dont have her married name i cant look for her,does this make sense

If she's your great aunt then her sibling was your grandmother or grandfather. That can't be correct given that they married 160 years ago.

Either way, you need to list the details of your direct ancestor.

Rose

Ive got my g,aunt Mary Mclaughlin married to Bernard Riley in 1851 in the city of London ,but would like to ask how can i find out if shes my g,aunt also here hubby was serving in the 3rd battalion of the riffle brigade,if he was in the Indian Mutiny than i no ive got the right one ,thank you
