Ken do you know much about what the 1st Batallion did in India ...I know he was a assistant instructor  in signalling and when he completed serving in India he was a corporal.

Hello Ken
I have checked again and you are right ,it was the 1st Battallion,he was posted to India in 07/09/1919 and served there until 03/1926,he came back to the uk and as you say served 12 years the last 5 years in reserve before he was discharged  when he was 45yo.

:)Hello ,I'm trying to research my paternal grandfather David Reid Wilson who served as a regular in the Black Watch from Sept 1919 until Jan 1926 in India,then returned to Scotland.He was an assistant instructor signalling  in Poona I think in the 1st Bn although when attested in 04/03/1919 he was in the 3rd bn(or at least the officer who signed the short service record.Does any one have information on the Watch during this time...
Many thanks

Well if you have "John Wilson baptised11/09/1840 Lacky blacksmith" then you will be in Co Fermanagh even though Clones town is in Co Monaghan!

Lacky would be the address/townland he came from which is in Clones PARISH! The parish is in both counties.

He was a blacksmith!

You will be relying on church records so you will need their religion.
Church of Ireland I think ,would his father Thomas have been the blacksmith, I read the baptism and birth date would be the same?
Any help about where to go next would be great
Kind regards
