Hi Migky
That bit of information was great, I never thought of that!! Presumably I am best writing to the church, is that correct? They did marry in a catholic church ,my grandparents, but my mum seems to think she wasnt born into the catholic church but changed later. we think her mum may have been catholic and Charles, her father, may have been church of Ireland we arnt too sure.
We hope to go over to Galway next year, my mum went in the 1930/40s to Oughterard to visit her grandparents and her Ryan grandfather lived in Galway city.
What I also didnt make clear was I would like to know if I can acces Charles Police records, how do I go about getting them or is it not possible?
Thanks again for your valuable advice.
Jacqui.

Thanks for your reply brian.
Since I last posted I have found who I believe to be my G Grandfather on the Ancestry site ,where they list police officers in Ireland. I had viewed the 1911 census at my local LDS church and on it was his age and I could link it to the age of a Charles on ancestsry. If indeed it is him he joined in Galway and seemed to go everywhere. He married a Jane Adam from Londonderry, married in Enniskillen, had children in Cork, Kerry, Galway and Clare. He certainly travelled! He ended up in Cornamona retired and having a new career as a Postmaster and farmer. Wow! I am at present awaiting the film from the LDS relevant to my grandfathers police career, if indeed it is him.
Will update as and when.
Jacqui.

Hi Jacqui,
The documents on Irish Police are in the form of a ledger. It gives the name of the constable, age on joining, former profession e.g. farmer. place of joining and county, the person who introduced the contable to the police force and other marks of distinction e.g. height etc. It also gives the place he trained and the County to which he was appointed. It also gives any misdemeaners and the reason for resigning, as well as any promotions.
Sadly it did not tell me where he lived prior to his joining the force, just the place he joined.
