that is very very helpful thank you 

i had found a marriage in athlone in oct of 1884 that seemed right and now i can say it most probably is, i now also know he was with the first battlion.

it also helps me work out roughly when he left as in 1891 he is in lancashire as a labourer, so i knew he left between 1884 when he married and 1891. i would think looking at those dates he left the military about the same time as the battlion left ireland.

now all i have to do is work out why his wife was in athlone.
