a friend who had sub to Ancestry found this for me
but they are not renewing
wondered if someone else could help me
I have found a Solomon Given who enlisted in 1875 aged 18
the birthplace is noted as Fermanagh is it possible to find any other info on him
I am not sure if he is mine but maybe another branch of my family
any help would be appreciated
I already have post on Solomon Given but dont know how to link them

Hello Elaine,I would say yes you can get his record. But it would cost you and you do not know if he his your's. :) Lep
-
Thanks Leprechaun
I have been trying to find out as much as possible
about him before I decided to buy the record
I dont think he is directly mine
maybe the son of one of my ancestors brothers
and thought it might give me a place name for them

Hi there
hoping someone can help I am searching for my gg grandfather.
James George Rogers
based in Wexford when his son George Rogers was born on 8th feb 1836.
His place of birth is not known nor marriage date to Margaret Kerr..poss 1830-1833
wife Margeret Kerr born 1808 poss wexford.
According to family "history" he was in the Royal Irish Constabulary......and was killed in the riots in Dublin abt 1840...( shot by rioters)
There was no further details to support this and I searched ancestry's records and did not find his name..
His decendants still retained his sword till after the death of his wife in 1878.
Margaret kerr remarried abt 1844 in Dublin
They migrated to Australia in 1848
hoping you can help clear up this family mystery
-
Hi Rogers2
I can't help you sorry
maybe if you repost this as a new topic
someone will be able to help there are a lot of knowledgable people
on here and as you said he was killed in the riots
there may be someone who has researched this part of the Irish History
Good Luck

Hi leprechaun,
Several of the links on the link you provided about the RIC bear this message ... "The page cannot be found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

Hi Christopher, I am sure it must be this one you mean.www.esatclear.ie/~ric/
Have just put it up on Google with no Problem. Lep :)

It's the RIC Alphabetical List section in the link that's not working.
-
Hi Christopher, I have just e-mailed them. Hopefully they will put it right.
Thankyou. :) Lep
-
Hi Christopher,I did get an e-mail back from RIC. They said yes that page is down.
And from what they say, I do not think the page will be put back.
[The Alphabetical List] I think it is now done this way for people to e-mail them.
IT is sad but nothing we can do. :(
-
Not to worry, leprechaun.
Now that the Alphabetical List is no longer online the Four Courts Press should sell more
of Jim Herlihy's great books about the Officers and Men who were employed by the RIC.
RootsChatters who can borrow these books from their local libraries can always answer queries that arise and others can visit the RIC Museum.

Thats great Christopher,Thanks Lep :)

Hi Christopher.That RIC site is Jim Hertihy site. Lep
