Hi!
I have a birth cert for my grandfather - George James Hosegood which states place of birth "Naas M. Barracks" The birth (on 12/10/1887) was registered in the district of "Naas & Caragh". His father was George William Hosegood Quarter Master Sergeant 3rd Bat. R.D.F. (Royal Dublin Fusiliers?) Is that of any use to you?
Regards, Lesley

Hi,
I have a marriage certificate for my Great, great grandparents John and Ellen Clisham. On it, it states that he was a Private of the '47th Regiment' (I take it this refers to the 47th Regiment of Foot?), based at North Camp, Farnborough in 1876. Bear with me...
His first-born was born in St. Heliers, Jersey in 1878 and his second in Dublin. However, his second daughter was born in February 1880 at Curragh Camp. Might they have been based there too?
I ask the question, as on the 1891 England Census, he's a shoe maker. I take it he'd left the army on having a family...

Evening,
Just found out that the '47th Regiment of Foot' were indeed station in England between 1872 and 1877, then Jersey and Ireland between 1877 and 1881 at which point they then became 'The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment'.

>:(My Great Grandfather John Allan b 1841 England marriage certificate (married 1875 Musselburgh Scotland) states he was a Private in the 91 Foot and his usual place of abode was Currogh Ireland.
This is new research to me and finding it hard to progress.

I too have to confess that this part of my tree proved difficult and hasn't been looked at in a while! I may have something in my file which is upstairs and as I'm supposed to be cooking dinner I'll delay being sidetracked but will check tomorrow and write again.

Sgt Thomas Litchfield 51st Regiment, stationed at the Curragh, married my great grandmother - Mary Pearce - at Ballysax Church on the 26th September 1856.
I obtained a copy of the certificate from LDS.

Visit the LDS site, ck on Library - drop down list - ck Library Catalogue another drop down list self explanatory.
Whilst on the site obtain the location of your nearest Family History Centre as you will need to visit to place your request for the film you require, the charge is nominal. When the film is available they will contact you to view the film at the Centre and you will be able to make copies. The volunteer's at the Centres are very welcoming and helpful.

Ah, I see now. You didn't actually obtain the cert from the LDS but copied it from a film on fiche.
Even so, that is encouraging - for although I've looked at many a film at my LDS centre, I thought that only the BMD indexes were available, and not the film of the actual certificate.
I'll have to do some delving on the LDS and see what can be found...
Thanks for the info.
