Hi Ina,
Do you have proof that she was born in 1827? And from Cork. Ie could that date/detail be wrong?
Cheers
Cheri


Hi Ina
There was a James CAHILL who was with the 54th Reg. and received permission
to remain in the Colony 17/10/1820
Then there is this entry in the Archives
DEPOT KAB
SOURCE CO
TYPE LEER
VOLUME_NO 3879
SYSTEM 00
REFERENCE 523
PART 1
DESCRIPTION MEMORIALS RECEIVED. JOHN CAHILL. APPLICATION TO REMAIN
IN COLONY.
STARTING 1810
ENDING 1810

and then there is this entry
Fort Beaufort Methodist
24 CAHILL John Henry
John and Enory?? Of 75th Reg
1839/10/29
1839/11/19
Could this be her father with the military connection with Joseph TYLER too?
Just a thought...
Take care
Lynn
