Title: Enniskillen
Post by: wayne69 on Monday 03 July 17 22:00 BST (UK)
Hello,
        The 30th Regiment of Foot arrived in Enniskillen c 1831. Does anyone know where they would have been garrisoned? Also, are there any records available pertaining to the deaths of army personnel or their families from this period? All help much appreciated.
                                 Many Thanks

You could try https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp  Civil Reg, and see if death was registered, if it was after 1864

just put name in, Enniskillen and Year Range 1864 to ?

Thank you hallmark. There is a death that I'm looking for, but that was c1831 and I believe it was in Enniskillen.

I'd be more inclined to think they would be at Kew.

Thank you Elwyn. I'll be have a closer look at Enniskillenn Castle and its history. Many thanks hallmark; it looks like a visit to Kew will be required if I am to find any definitive information.
