Thanks for the reply and looking it up.
Thomas Phelan had a son Patrick J Phelan who was in Scotland Yard and was the personal body guard to Eamonn De Valera whenever he was in Great Britain.
I have a number of newspaper cuttings about him and De valera but I presume I could not post them here due to copyright issues.
Thomas Phelans marriage cert shows him as born in Co. Waterford with a father Patrick Phelan, a farmer.

Thanks for that

Dear seanmac,
I wonder if you can find out some info. for me regarding these two police officers. My Uncle Patrick Mason, born 1891, was convicted of larceny in 1907. He was sentenced to a month in prison. Subsequently he was KIA on the Somme (RIR) in July 1916.
The RIC officers involved were Edward West - Sergt. and Patrick Driscoll - Constable and their areas would be Clogheen and Clonmel (Tipperary). It would be good to put additional information upon this brave man's history. Your time would be much appreciated.
-
From the book there is only mention of an Edward West
RIC
B. 1872 Kerry
Married; 16/9/1902 (Tralee Reg District)
wife a native of Kerry
3rd DI 20/9/1920
Pensioned; 26/4/1922

Dear seanmac,
a sincere "thank you" for the interesting information in the history of my Uncle Paddy. This period of his early life belied his later incredible bravery with the RIR.

Dear Seanmac
As I am writing this from Australia I wonder if you would be able to do a look-up for me. I am researching my Great Great Grandfather who was a member of the RIC.
His name was WALTER TURNBULL, not sure of birthplace or year but he married in Athlone in 1863 and I believe he served in Roscommon and Glenties, Donegal where three of his children were born. His year of death is also unknown but it was before the 1901 census.
Many thanks.

:) HI I am hoping you can help me with a look up for my husband's grandfather James Fitzgerald who was in the Royal Irish reserve and also I think? in the constabulary. He was born in Cappoquin 1885 and lived most of his married life to Hannah at 11New St Tallow. He died in 1969?
Thank you
