William Roe

[J.S]

I have discovered via Army records that my Great great grandfather was born
in Birr, Parsonstown, Kings country in 1816 and joined the 22nd. regiment of foot
at Birr Barracks in 1833. Occupation shoemaker.
What can I do now to go back in time from here?

Do you know William Roe's religion?

Also, Griffiths Valuation shows a number of Roe families in Offaly.  Take a look at

Thank you both for your interest.
My great great grandfather William Roe left Ireland with his Cheshire Regiment (22nd. foot)
in 1841 and never returned.
As he was born in 1816 in Birr, Kings County, I was hoping to find him as a 5 year old with his father, also William, aand family in the
1821 census for Birr I just saw at the local LDS family history centre. unfortunately no luck.
Two Roe families in this census, but not mine.
I am totally stuck so far so any help or advice is most welcome.
