No, this is definitely not my James. My James was a drummer in the Black Watch who saw
action in the Crimean War. He died and was buried in Malta in 1855. He left behind a
wife and two children in Aberdeen, Scotland.
There are so many Cardens, and there are quite a few named James and John who were in the
military. I know there are many from the Irish branch (that originated in England), but I
suspect that my Irish connection was simply because John was in the military; after all,
only one of his three children was born in Ireland.
Thanks for the information, though! You never know... it might tie into my family
somewhere else down the line once I've found a few more connections.
