Hi
My G Grandmother Emily Symonds was born in Paulton Gloucestershire in 1849, on her birth cert her father was Thomas Symonds and her mother was Susanna Athaway who was born in Sicily abt 1804.
The only reason she would have been born there at that time was if her father was a soldier fighting in the Napoleonic War.
Does anyone know where I can find a site that lists the names of soldiers in that war .I have a feeling he must have been killed in Battle,
I cant find him anywhere or Susannas mother.
There are sites that list the officers who died during that war,perhaps the poor foot soldiers didnt rate a mention.
I cant find Susannas birth because I have to know the name of the town she was registered in, it only says Sicily on the censuses.
I am just about ready to give up on this one.
Help needed please
Mary
