An interesting one to identify.
Most probably an Infantry unit as his putees are wound the wrong way for a mounted unit.
Looking at the tunic and the pockets it would appear to date from the late 1880's to around 1910ish, most probably Kahki in colour. It's a shame we can't see the shoulder titles.
The lanyard would either suggest somebody in the Royal Engineers, the Artillery, an Officer or somebody who wore a webley pistol as a sidearm.
There was a J. F. Church - Photographer working near the Curragh Camp, Kildare, in around 1868 although this appears to be a H. Church probably his son?
Have you tried looking on the cenesu returns for 1881 and 1891 to see if any of the family were missing at that time?

Hi
The problem I have with seeing who is missing is that it could be any one 4 families, and they all had at least 4 children, one had 15!
It was in a box of photos I inherited from my grandad, but it is a mix of his family, Evans & Mitchell - and my Nanas which were Smith & Bibby - lol and Evans & Smith are not the easiest to search for!
Now I have a possible date tho I may be able to narrow it down - would the army etc list man even if they were abroad serving their country do u know?
The Liverpool reg would tie in as the family lived literaly within walking distance of the camp at Warrington, have to hit their database & see if I find any familiar names!
I'll let you know if I find anyone possible
Thank you
