Welcome Lorna,
Are you sure Catherine was born was born 1809/10? She would only have been 12/13 at her marriage in 1822. Was their marriage date from his Service record?

Yes move it as I wasn't sure where to put it. Yes I have 9 pages of his army record and discharge. He served just over 12 years overseas. That would have been Ceylon. Though I did notice in the memoirs of 83rd lightfoot book that a detachment was sent to Calcutta for a time. Can't get records on that end. Thank you

Hi, Lorna - and welcome to ftf!

You may get more attention for this thread in the first grouping, Research History Research. A moderator can move it for you.

Have you looked for his pension record?

My ggg grandfather Thomas Flinter married Catherine Daly (or similar) in 1822. Following the travels of the 83rd lightfoot he would have been in Ceylon somewhere when he got married. Catherine was born 1809/10 in the cape of good hope (I have this on a 1861 census in Ireland) I also have found one of his daughters was born in kandy in 1826 -Eliza, under the name Flinton.!! I so would love to find their marriage in Ceylon or on board ship. I found the ship Adamant and Eliza that they sailed on from cape to Ceylon but no list of names.
Many thanks.
Lorna
