Antrim / Re: John McNEILL - who's his father?
« on: Thursday 14 March 24 03:09 GMT (UK) »When John applied to enter the Civil Service in 1867, his birth date is given as 02 Nov 1848 and his father's name is recorded as Daniel McNEILL.
....
Could you pl provide a link to the application to join the Civil Service in 1867 or provide a copy. Does it give any indication that he will be joining to be a sailor? Where did he join?
Then 8 years later the occupation on the marriage certificate is 'sailor'
