Hi,
The Shambles Barracks was on Lombard St in the city centre, and was vacated after Indepence in 1922. It was demolished to make way for St. Patrick's primary school in 1954. I went to school there :-) The Claddagh was a fishing village of thatched cottages across the river at the time.

Hi karhel,

You probably were mistaken by the name of the barracks.
Just to prevent repetition, you have this information on your other long thread here

Thank you.
I should have paid more attention.The other thread did become quite busy and I was trying to prevent repetition.
Did we not find that out before?

Post by: Sinann on Saturday 20 January 18 10:51 GMT (UK)
I lost a post, I hate that.

Kildare January 1885, Galway Nov 1885, Barton Regis 1887
Any one know where you would find Regiment movements?

There is a newspaper snippet about a Chas Moyle’ s suicide in 1884 at the barracks.
The death of Charles Moyle in September 1884 shows he is in the Suffolk Regiment.

Beg your pardon, I am still with this thread re the Shambles.

Another snippet dated December 1886 shows the Border Regiment in the Shambles.

Aug 1885 in the Curragh The Queens Own Royal West Kent and the King's Liverpool Regiments, the Border Regiment and Lincoln Regiment.

He wasn't in the Inniskilling Fusiliers as they didn't arrive at the Curragh until May 1885
