Hi Looking for my 2nd Great Grandfather who served as a private in the 59th Regiment of Foot from 1854 and was discharged in 1875, service no. 3501.According to his army records he was born in Dungannon, Tyrone, Ireland but I can find no records of his birth or baptism. He had 2 daughters, Rose Anne McGill who was born in 1856 and Isabella McGill who was born in abt. 1860 in Fort Beaufort, Cape of Good Hope. I can find no record of a marriage for Michael or information about his death.On discharge from the army he stated that he was returning to live in Dungannon but I cannot find him on any censuses.I know that there are gaps in the Irish records but if anyone out there knows more I'd love to hear from you.
