Jim Herlihy's RIC books

[Rody Lee]

I've come across this where the father of the groom was dead and the father of the bride is recorded as 'living'.

Maybe it was not recorded if both were living but recorded where one was dead?

[aghadowey]

I've seen  'dead' written with name of father, 'dead' written and name of father omitted and nothing written in box for father's name if he was dead but have never seen 'living' written in. Must just depend on the way the clergyman filled out the registers.

Hi - if someone has Jim Herlihy's book can you look up the name Patrick Slevin? His obituary in the San Francisco newspaper mentioned he was a policeman in the Dublin Police force for 7 years before immigrating to the US in 1851. Thanks! Cindy Slevin

I am looking for the RIC service number of Thomas McLOUGLIN born about 1849, Queens County. In the 1901 census he was head constable in Listowel, Kerry. He married in Dublin in 1883 and was in Kerry by 1898.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

If anyone has a book on Royal Irish Constabulary I would like the details on Ewin or Euin Porter - I think he was born around 1811.

Thanks
