Curragh Camp. Regiments

[Guylian]

In the medical section of the service records for John Bonnett (currently mistranscribed as Bennett) of the 68th (Durham) Regiment, he is listed as having been at Curragh Camp in '1870', possibly the entire time between 12 July 1870 and before leaving for India (arriving at Poona on 14 March 1872). (source is the British Army Service Records 1760-1915 Transcriptions found on findmypast uk).

Hi, Im also looking for a Laurence Purfield (from dublin) of the 47th Foot Regiment 1826-1831.  I dont know where to start,  but know he was in the Royal Hospital Chelsea discharged aged 25.  Any advice on how or where to start.

This thread is fascinating. Thank you all for the great information about the Curragh. My great great grand father, John Tobin, was with the 8th Hussars in Kildare from 1869-1875. He and his wife Sarah Ann (nee Ludford) had a daughter Ellen in about 1871-1873 (varying dates in census et al.). I found an Ellen Tobin born in Newbridge in 1872 (8th Hussars) in the GRO Regimental Records (British Nationals Armed Forces Births 1761-2005) on findmypast.com.  Somewhere in this forum, someone said that Newbridge was the site of one of the barracks on the Curragh. So it seem likely that this is the right person, but you never know.
How would I order a birth certificate?
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to RootsChat
This is a British record so it's the GRO in England you need.

I've never used this GRO if you have any questions I'd ask in the Common Room here

I tried the GRO but she's not there.

I've searched quite a bit and everything I'm finding says the GRO has them

As I said try asking in The Common Room someone there should know how to order, they may be in a sub section.

It's on their website as well
