Births in Malta 1853

[paulrookie]

Hi, trying to help a friend who has an ancestor born in 1853 in Valetta, Malta as British Subject shown on 1871 Census. Where would I go to find out any more details please? Not sure if father was Military or Diplomatic.

Thank you for any ideas,

Hi Paul

I built a Site which has many Links to Family Research in Malta.

You can try a search there.

Do you have a name or some other piece of detail

All the best.

Have you searched the military indexes? GRO Army Chaplains' Birth Indexes and Regimental Birth Indexes are available on FMP and no doubt elsewhere.

Hi Paul,

Greetings from Malta G.C. if you would like to send some details to me I shall see what I can do from this island in the central Mediterranean.

Cheers,

Hi Martin

Had a look at your Malta Family History Site

And guess what ! !

I found a relation who was out there in the Royal Artillery
His marriage and the birth of two of his children

James Edward Leat & Annie McMellane Married 27 February 1897

James born 1868 Stoke on Trent & Annie McMellane ???
Don't know where or when she was born, or her father

Annie's father Thomas McMellane,
it seems was a Captain in the Royal Artillery.

I am thrilled to bits to have found this info

Thanks so much

Rove,

Had a look at your site- impressive and some very useful links.

I see that there is a description under the photo of St. Paul Shipwrecked in Valetta that they hold records for all the other parishes there. Is this correct ? I have not seen this mentioned elsewhere. I hope to visit this church, and others in the new year, and would hate to ask for something they dont have.

Cheeers..Ed
