I am trying to find an army record for Martin Flaherty ,1875, the only record I found was from nationalarchiveuk  .It said he was discharged to reserve Mallow 1887.He was B Battery 4th Brigade  Royal Artillery regiment, regimental number 7920,ideally his attestation papers or indeed any information ,or service record ,would be brilliant ,I live in Ireland ,so not really possible for me to go to Kew ,and even if it were possible ,I wouldn't have a clue where to start.Thank you .

I can't see anything on FindMyPast.  I have asked the Mods if they can move this post to the military pages as you may get more help there  ;D

Hi there, for others reading your topic, this is the 1888 marriage in Co. Cork:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1888/10788/5934429.pdf

Can you give any other background, ie. to explain from birth in Co. Galway to this marriage such a long distance away, it would help?

I only have information ,passed down from older relatives ,They said Martin  originally came from Kilronan Aran to the mainland ,where he enlisted in British Army ,he served some time in India, how he ended up in Mallow nobody is sure ,but there were army barracks there at the time ,and indeed also In several surrounding towns ,so it was always assumed he was stationed down south of Ireland ,possible maybe before he went to India
