Also bear in mind that Parsonstown (now Birr) was a large Army base and had a transient population of Army personnel.
Many children were born there as their families moved from barracks to barracks.
Just as many children were born in India for the same reason by the nature only of being there at the time.

Are your James and Maggie's husband Robert siblings??

You have a James Law, B. 1824 Parsonstown. Joined Royal Engineers 1847 in York, England..... BUT is his address Parsonstown or does he actually say he was born there?

Thank you Hallmark!

To answer your question about location, it says in the parish of Egglass near the town of Birr.

I have his civil service evidence of age and it says born in Parstonstown.

As you can see there seems to be only 1 Law family on records

Robert born Scotland

and your James

Were they siblings is the question.... I suppose searching for Robert's birth marriage in Scotland might reveal something

Robert was born in Scotland and James in Ireland with a 16 year gap in their ages. Seems strange, but as myluck! pointed out, maybe the transient nature of the area would explain it. Sounds like I need to get ahold of James' 1850 marriage record in Yorkshire to find out who his father was!

Also, James had several children. None were named Robert, Margaret, etc. Maybe James is a relative of Robert's but not a brother.
