Hello Jim Forgive me for the intrusion but I have only recently come across your site. I wonder if you can help me further my research. My great grandfather William Blackhall came from Arboe in Co. Tyrone. He gave his birth year as 1800. He enlisted in the 14th Light Dragoons in 1817. According to his record he was previously a carpenter. Around this period he married a lady called Margaret by whom he had 2 daughters, 1 in Londonderry and 1 in England whilst serving with the regiment. When he left the Dragoons in 1834 he had a gratuity of approximately £15 which was paid to Margaret, her abode being Arboe. 2 months later, he married a young woman called Caroline in Monmouthshire in Wales/England. He eventually moved to the West Midlands in England where he had several children with Caroline.
I have tried all ways to find out who Margaret was, when they married and what happened to her because in 1844 he married Caroline again in the local church although there is no record of this marriage being officially registered only a mention in the parish records. Are there any records for Arboe or Londonderry? Thanking you in anticipation. Noreen Evans. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10
