Kerry / Re: Tralee barracks?
« on: Monday 07 April 08 19:50 BST (UK)  »
hi leprechaun and pharmakon thankyou so much for your replies i haven't tried the archives yet but i will do. Henry was discharged on 9 DEC 1885 which i found on the times archives he went on to be a clerk for the manchester school board and lived in Pendleton in bury i have quite a bit of info on him when he came to england but none when he was in ireland i am determined this year to find out more about his early life and where he came from in ireland lol
do you think his army records will be at national archives in London? the info i have is that he went from Sergent major to quartermaster in June 1883 then retired in 1885 which would have made him around 40 years old

thanks again for both your advice
kind regards

Kerry / Tralee barracks?
« on: Sunday 06 April 08 15:01 BST (UK)  »
hello all
does anyone have any information on an army barracks at Tralee i have searched the web and only come up with one which was called Ballymullen barracks would this be correct? i have a birth certificate of my gg grandfather (henry john Selby) first son which was listed on the army register so was able to send for that with out too much trouble!! on the top of the cert it says 17th brigade regiment of depot place of birth is Tralee and rank of father is Sergeant. I know the family came to england between 1873 and 1875 and henry's regiment was then the Lancashire fusiliers stationed at wellington barracks, bury.
would there be any records at all of the people who were stationed there i found on the familysearch web site a birth ref for the second child which says Kerry barracks

any advice or information would be very gratefully received
regards
kirstie
