I am trying to find any information on my great great grandparents James Holt & Catherine Lawler.they were married in October 1842 in Ballyshannon. They had 2 children when they sailed to New Zealand in 1847. James was in the army from 1812 which he joined when ten years old as a Drummer Boy. The army records show him as being born in the parish of Saint Barrys in County Cork. He was in the 46th Foot South Devonshire Regiment until 1842 when he was given a Chelsea Pension. I have no information on Catherine except her birth was about 1818.
Lawler
Just wondering whether you received any replies to your query above. James Holt and Catherine Lawler are my great x3 grandparents (I am from their son Robert) and am keen to find out more about them. Thank you
