I am seeking any info on Major George Priestly 42nd Regiment who was stationed in New Brunswick in the 1800s. His first wife was possibly a Wallace from Belfast Ireland. He was widowed and remarried in NB.He predeceased his 2nd wife about 1872. One daughter of his first marriage Malvina married a Judge, Charles Watters. His son George Priestley [ nb spelling ] also served in the British Army in North America and later in the Crimea and India, before retiring to Westbury Tasmania Australia. Another son became a Dr and migrated to Argentina.
