Royal Irish Constabulary 1816-1921

[elaine447]

a friend who had sub to Ancestry found this for me
but they are not renewing
wondered if someone else could help me
I have found a Solomon Given who enlisted in 1875 aged 18
the birthplace is noted as Fermanagh is it possible to find any other info on him
I am not sure if he is mine but maybe another branch of my family
any help would be appreciated
I already have post on Solomon Given but dont know how to link them

 Hello Elaine,I would say yes you can get his record. But it would cost you and you do not know if he his your's. Lep

Thanks Leprechaun
I have been trying to find out as much as possible
about him before I decided to buy the record
I dont think he is directly mine
maybe the son of one of my ancestors brothers
and thought it might give me a place name for them
