True there are no records in the files but the newspaper reports mention him so presumably he existed but perhaps the files don’t.

From working a lot with the RIC records, it seems that for the older years they are not complete. For the early years, they seem to have only included men who were receiving a pension in the 1850s and later.

From newspapers, the Morton in New Inn had the initial 'E'. He is described as a Pol. Con. (police constable) in the Clonmel Herald of Saturday 04 April 1835.
thanks for the information. I am planning a trip to the uk national archives in July which might provide further insight if there are records there. Any snippets are very well received.

I fear it was all too common, this article from The Times in 1875 describes the churchyard where many of my ancestors are buried.

Thursday, Aug 12, 1875; pg. 12; Issue 28392; col A

"EARTH TO EARTH." - At a vestry meeting at East and West Looe, Cornwall on Saturday, the chairman, the Rev. H. Mayo,  etc etc etc

Hi
I am looking for my 4 x Gt Grandfather John Pengelly bc 1780 possibly in Talland ,as that is where my 3 x Gt Grandma Martha was baptised in 1816.
I don’t have a marriage for John,the closest being John marrying Elizabeth Olford in 1801 in Talland.
However,I can only find two children of the John and Elizabeth pairing, my 3 x Gt Grandma Martha and a son John in 1814. It seems a big gap between marriage and children.
I have found a couple on 1851 census living in Looe ,John and Elizabeth Pengelly and then an Elizabeth Pengelly who is a widow in 1861,but wrong birthplace for the Elizabeth marrying in 1801 who was from Lansallos.
Help please.
You may find the www.tallandchurch-ancestry.uk useful which records all gravestones, ledger stones and tablets in the church, is searchable and has images and locations of each stone and

An account of the Waterford County Quarter Sessions in the Waterford Chronicle of 7 January 1843 confirms that there was indeed a wood ranger named Edward Morton, he was examined as a witness in a case of theft of a fir tree belonging to the Marquess of Waterford.

Wood ranger and gate keeper aren't entirely incompatible, they suggest that Edward may have had a career working on one or more landowners' estates.
Hi Gaffy, Have been searching for the newspaper article you mentioned in your message, can you tell me where you found this please, many thanks.

looks like the Buildings of Ireland have got the facts mixed up, as we know the RIC was disbanded in 1922

I think the newly formed Garda Síochána took most of the barracks over after 1922 until the service was rationalised. Probably the reason it went out of use in 1926.
