Thanks very much Nipy,  did'nt quite get the joke, perhaps you mean miss out the 'h' !!       

My grt grndfather Robert  (William's son) was born Newtown Westmeath 1818 seems a bit long to leave it until they decided to get married, but not impossible as Robert was married 10 years after his three sons were born.!!!

I suppose next move is to try a marriage cert, but too early I think what I really need of course is a birth cert or registration for Robert or at least some evidence,. as at this stage I ony have  Westmeath Ireland on his death certificate and on his tomb stone.William's employment on Robert's marriage cert simply says Steward.   All very frustrating, would'nt it be nice to have a team working for us like on 'Who do you think you are'

Thanks again

I wouldn't think IFHI would have a parish record for much before 1800's (madding I know)there won't be a marriage cert for William maybe if you are very lucky you may find a parish record some where (not good odds) but Robert  there maybe a church record  for his baptism  was he RC or Church of Ireland .Also I wonder what type of Steward William may have been do you think that may mean an  estate  manager or something  like that ?There was quite a few large estates /big houses in Co Westmeath .Yes  be lovely to have the resources for someone to do all the look ups & point us in the right direction but I think then we'd lose that buzz when you find something.I'll keep a look out for you & let you know if I see any thing that maybe of any interest,Happy hunting - Nipy

This also interests me!  My g-grandfather's marriage certificate listed him as living at the Athlone army barracks in 1901 and stated that he was a driver for the 9th battery, Royal Field Artillery.  His name was Ernest Mills and he married Agnes Kennedy on May 25, 1901 in Athlone.  I know that he ended up going to South Africa to fight in the Boer War.

I would love to know how I could find out more about him - were the army barracks included in the 1901 census?  Is there a way of finding his army record?
