Message Board Post:
I'm looking for more information on my ancestor, James Carden. He was born in 1818 in
the Island Bridge area of Dublin, Ireland. His birth is listed in the indices for British
military births (as James Cardon), so the family may not have been Irish. James was a
soldier himself who enlisted in London at the age of 14; he was a drummer in the 42nd
(Black Watch). He was married in 1851 to Jane Burnett, the daughter of another soldier.
James died in 1855 in Malta.
Before I go and order expensive certificates that may or may not have the information
I'm looking for, I was just wondering if anybody else was researching this man. I
would especially like to know the names of James's parents, since I have no
information about them. Getting past this brick wall would be great!
