Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in South Africa
Born in Newtownards, Co. Down. Parish and parents unknown, likely Anglican. Left for South Africa 1847 from Cork with 6th (Royal Warwickshire) regiment. Died and buried in South Africa. I'm trying to trace my great-great-great grandfather's ancestors. If anyone can assist I'd be most grateful, thank you.
