Title: any information on queens county militia
Post by: ardree on Saturday 22 September 12 20:23 BST (UK)

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to find some information on the above. My ancestor was imprisoned for deserting the militia in 1859/ 1860. It is odd that he was in the militia as his grandfather who was a rebel was killed in Carlow for making pikes in the 1798 rebellion.
Could he have entered the militia against his will?

i have found lots of information on the cork militia but not on queen's county militia. My ancestor's name was Patrick Wall from Ardree, Athy?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

The original poster hasn't been online for a few years but in another thread they said ancestor was Mick Wall  :-\
