GF John Richard b1889 Woolwich
Looking for County of his father Thomas b1858 in Ireland
The 1891 census indicated that he was a driver for Royal Artillary
Are there any English records that might have this info?
Thx
Colleen

If you give some more information about this family, i.e his mothers name age and where born, siblings etc we might find them on other census's and possibly give where in Ireland he was born. :-\
Army records are held at the National Archives, Kew, if you could find his service record that should tell you where he was born.
