Hello from Australia! I am hoping that someone who is familiar with Monaghan records can point me in the right direction.
I found the birth town & parish ( 1817 ) that my family member came from - It was recorded in his Army record.
Can anyone advise me what resources are available when I can't find the family in the British census records ( he was sent to Sth Africa with the British Army in the 1850's).
Would there be parish records held anywhere without me having to fly around the world?

I think Samuel's wife was named Margaret

Samuel's daughter was Elizabeth and her death certficate in Australaia says she was born in Limmerick in 1841.
