Thank you Jo and Dave for your very warm welcome.
I have been away,and am sorry for being so long in replying.
Do you please have any idea how I can find the parents of one of my brick wall men?
His name ...Joseph Plant born 1812 Cape of Good Hope(british subject)
He was in the Royal Artillery 1828/57 I have his army papers,so know this is correct.
He married a Maria ????? I cant find his marriage either,first child Amelia born 1839 in Watermans Field, Charlton Next Woolwich, Kent.
I would be very grateful for any ideas you may have in finding his parents or marriage,
Regards
Amyn
