Ireland / Re: Ballyboghil, Feb 1919

thank you all so much for your help.

Mary Moore  parents are given as william moore (army storeman) and Jane Ann Moore (Hogan)

I had only ever been told my grandfather was born in a barracks in Dublin, so the name Ballyboghill may well be wrong!
 Would it have been usual at that time to have a pregnant wife with you? As we could not find a marriage cert, we thought maybe she was a local girl, as they got married and had a child within a few weeks,I guess she probably was local.
I have believed forever that my dads family was pure scottish and I am very pleased to find there are Irish roots too!
thank you, Karen

got some of the details wrong before, my grandfather was born in feb 1917. john patrick Best.
his father john Best born 1896 was a soldier
his mother mary Best nee moore was born 1899, she died back in scotland in 1922 of TB. (23)
we can find no marriage cert for john and Mary. so wondered if they married in Ireland?
was Mary Irish?
any help would be very grateful.

My parents did collect a replacement certificate for him some years ago from Dublin, but we are not sure where this is now. Spoke to my parents earlier and they are going to apply for another.

My grandfather was born in Ballyboghil barracks in February 1919, name John Patrick Best, his father we believe was a serving soldier at the barracks also named John Best, he was born in scotland.
We can find no further information on John Best or a wife and wonder why his son would of been born in the barracks at this time.
Any information or ideas as to where to go from here would be much appreciated.

Karen.
