Armed Forces / Re: What was wrong with Hulme Barracks, Manchester?

Hello Ken,

I read with interest your assistance in tracing a soldier for a previous writer and wondered whether you could offer me some similar advice. My grandfather, John Healy bn 1833 Dunleer, Co Louth was a private in the 4th Dragoon Guards. He was stationed in the Cavalry Barracks Hulme in 1871 with his wife and family.
I would like to find out a) when and where he enlisted, b) how long he served for, c) when and where was he was discharged. Could you point me in the right direction to find the answers to these questions?

Many thanks, Brimay

Hello John,

Should you still be looking for the information re Calvary Barracks, Hulme, I can tell you that my grandfather was stationed at the Calvary Barracks, Hulme in 1871. His regiment was 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards. If you have any info regarding the movement of this regiment I would be pleased to hear from you.

Regards, Brimay
