Hi, Im looking for any relevant information on Constable Thomas Ferris who married Eleanor Sheeran in Boyle on 8th April 1865.
On the marriage cert it states that Thomas is a 'Constable' and his father Thomas is a Farmer, it gives Eleanor's father is also named Thomas but no occupation given.
I have seen entries of children born to the couple,
Maria Honora, dob 1867
James Joseph, dob 1871
Mary Ellen, dob 1879.
Fanny/Frances dob 1883.
Father Thomas has 'Clogher' listed as place of residency on the earlier birth entries 1867-1871, (possibly where he was barracked at the time?)
By the time Mary Ellen was born in 1879 he was listed as 'Pensioner RIC.
Thomas died in Boyle in 1887 aged 60,
His wife Ellen and daughter Mary Ellen are listed on the 1901 census at Gorthmeadow.
I cannot find any trace of James Joseph (dob 1871)
I have information on Fanny/Frances marriage in 1921 in Blackrock Co Dublin, so im not concerned as to that link along with her census entries 1901-1911, (employed by Post-Office)
I would be very interested and thankful in any Info regs Thomas R.I.C. Service along with what became of James Joseph, death details, etc.
Thanking you.
