Hi, I am an Irish person looking at my roots. I have one family my great grandmother who was the daughter of a man named John Stuart, from Cullen and  Brownhill, co. Leitrim. He was apparently the son of a man named David Stewart, who died in Leitrim in The late 1800’s. As he reported the death according to the death records. I haven’t got any further back yet, but I just thought it was interesting.

Thanks so much to all of especially the link to find my past, which I will check after my holidays. 

Hi I am trying to find out about my ggrandfather. My Paternal grandmother was Susan Ann Farrelly born 20.12.1874. And registered early 1875. I have a copy of her birth certificate obtained from uk Gro. The birth certificate states his reg as 11th foot and his rank as lance corporal I think . The pension records from 1880 give a Peter Farrelly (his name) and the rank of sargeant, which is the name and rank given on my grandparents marriage certificate. Basically my question is where can I find out about his military service , where he enlisted etc. also there is some confusion about my  ggrandmother whose surname is either Gibson or Gibbons and I hope the military record would help me sort it out. His number according to ancestry is 16Bde/70. Any help appreciated

Thanks for asking and answering the question. 

May be they are uploading more records. I can’t get past the home page.
