Armed Forces / George Marshall, 6th Dragoons in about 1894, who where his parents ?
« on: Sunday 27 April 25 07:24 BST (UK)  »
I am looking at a man named George Marshall who lived in the Preston area of Lancashire but was born in Guildford Surrey in about 1874 to 1876 or there abouts.
I believe he may have been a member of the 6th Dragoons , sometime about 1894 and perhaps up to about 1897 or so.
Can anyone tell me who his parents may have been , should it be possible that would be great.
I dont know much else about this man , so anything new would be some what special.
What i do know is that the 6th Dragoons where in the preston area (Fulwood barracks) in about 1895/1896 but not anything else.

the Surname of the family from the USA was Kirk, there is a second family that may have connected to this one depending on who was male or female etc and that may have been Maguire.
One of them or both together had a child , a male that met my relation in about the January of 1896 in order for my grandfather to be born at the end of the October of 1896.

Its because of a DNA brickwall i have, my family mostley come from the uk, ie England etc yet i have on one side of my grandfathers side a lot of matches and in this they go back a very long time in the USA, now the mother of my grandfather and her life is well documented etc and she never left the UK, there is Fulwood barracks in preston where she lived in the 1880s until about 1900, her name is recorded as being a family member to her brother in law in about 1895/96 when he was in barracks at fleetwood, so both places are of some interest at the moment, the only thing i can think of is that who ever was the bio father of my grandfather was from the USA and met her in Lancashire/Preston or fleetwood etc.

Does anyone have any news about soldiers from the USA who may have been at Fulwood Barracks in late 1895 to 1896.
Is this something back then that could have taken place ?

Cavan / Patrick Maguire and Bridget Smyth/Smith.
« on: Saturday 18 May 24 13:15 BST (UK)  »
I have a Michael Maguire i seem to be related to via DNA or more likely a sibbling of his, Michael Maguire was born in 1833 in Knockbride and his parents were a Patrick Maguire and Bridget Smyth or Smith, unsure what dates of birth they have but may be about 1795 to 1800 or so, can anyone tell me from local knowledge or records anything about Patrick and who his children might have been.
Kind regards David from New Zealand.
