Title: Hussars in Dublin
Post by: thehearns on Monday 23 July 12 09:07 BST (UK)

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can find out more about the Hussars in Dublin?
Were there many regiments?
 I'm loooking for someone who was probably there in the 1890s.
Thanks :)

There were at least four regiments of Hussars in Dublin during this period:

= 3rd Hussars were there from 1891 to 1895;
= 10th Hussars were there from 1890 to 1893
= 12th Hussars were there from 1894 to 1895;
= 15th Hussars were there from 1895 to 1896.

Others which on paper were based elsewhere in Ireland may also have had a detachment in Dublin.

If you have a name you should post it, as someone may be able to find their record on Findmypast for you. If you have a date you need to post the month as well as the year.

That was a quick reply, thank you.
I'm looking for Charles John Goodall.

Charles John Goodall had 3 children - Florence Mary b 1895 in Dublin, John Charles  1900 and Joseph b 1901.
After Charles John Goodall died (when?), Margarita and children went to UK and remarried in 1904.

Small world, but there is a John C Goodall, 55, Army pensioner visiting in Southampton in 1901. Wife is Margarita A, 42 with two daughters including a Flora (19)

Thanks Ken, but I don't think it's them.
Florence was b 1895, so would only be 6, and there was only 1 daughter.
