The link offered nearly three years ago to contact Rev.L Stevenson drew a complete blank - not even a response.  Hence I am little further on from that thread linked.

I paid a visit to Lea a few years ago.  No headstone, so I would be relying on the church registers. RCBI books are too early. I haven't been to the National Archives, I must check that out.

The only mention of his police career is on a child's baptism in 1830, where he is 'pensioner of police' at age about 30. He appears nowhere in the IC or RIC records, though the records are often missing in the early 1820s. However, two of his grandsons went on to police careers, which corroborates that he might have been in the early police forces.

Unfortunately, he is a man who seems determined to defy every avenue I try to find out anything about him!

The Wicklow Franklins would be on the tree from further back, as my William Franklin was born in Rathdrum in 1800/1801.  Typically, there are TWO possible baptisms, so I cannot even determine his parents!  No marriage appears, even though he had a family.  As I said, he defies EVERY angle I try to look at him from!

However, while I have the marriages for his three daughters, his own son William Franklin disappears too.  He is not on that list from Irishgenealogy.  I had searched long and hard.
