Hi,
Coraclevin did have its own police station in the 1890s.I have a reference to a Sergent Frank Cronin RIC being transferred there in 1893.
There is a comprehensive book published a few years ago on the Royal Irish Constabluary (RIC) might be sometihing in it that could lead elsewhere.

Re: "Corraclevin"
I'm new to this media and apologise if i'm breaking in inappropriately.
However, I have an old bible which belonged to my Great, Great grandmother, whom I know little about . She has written in the front of the book, that she was born at Corraclevin farm, Dunkerrin Kings County on the 23rd December 1834.
She apparently arrived in Australia as a young single person and I know of her marrying
near Melbourne.
Could anyone advise me whether its possible from the little I know to learn more of her origins in Ireland or if she left family members behind.
ps. I had trouble reading her hand writing and was excited to recognise Corraclevin from your previous posts
Regards

Sorry
It's Old "Happy" again.
In my excitement to get started in this I forgot to give the lady's name. I don't know if it is relevant but It may prompt a lead from somebody.
My Great, Great Grandmother was "Honora Shea" .

Thanks to all who have replied to my request, My ancester who was in the RIC in the late 1800's must have moved about while in the police I have references to Burr,Limerick,Cork city and eastern region Cork .Gurteen, Kinnerty, Waterford, His police record is not a lot of use either but alas with the name like Michael McCarthy is so common placing him in any particular location where he grew up, I think will be nye impossible with out having a holiday in Ireland and spending all day in the local record offices, I don't think my wife let me the alternative is to throw money at it....(yuk, no, no, nooo,) with no idea if they would find anything, I understand that the irish census will be on line some time in the near future prehaps I have that wrong, But anyway thanks to all and if you do come across a Michael in your own searching it may be of no use but you never know I would like to hear off him...................

Cooraclevin is a townland in the village of Barna Co. Offaly. It consists of a Church (RC) and a shop and couple of houses. There was once an RIC Barracks located there. Up to 1919 every little village in Ireland had an RIC Barracks. Barna is located in a triangle between Dunkerrin, Cloughjordan and Moneygall. The O Shea family have resided in Barna for many generations. The ancestral burial ground of the O Shea family is Rathnavogue in Co. Tipperary. Hope this will be of some help.
Regards
Noel
