Now if a great uncle had been a postman in County Cavan, how would I go about researching that?  Who would have records of that?

Hello acooper,

Sorry for the delay in replying. If your ancestor worked as a Post Office employee in Co. Cavan prior to the 1920s, when the Irish Free State was formed, try the Family history of Post Office employees site. Alternatively pay a  visit the British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA) - Freeling House Phoenix Place - London WC1X 0DL

RE: Postman in County Cavan

Thanks for your earlier reply. My great uncle was a postman after the Irish Free State was formed, up into the 1960s I believe. I guess I would look into the Irish Postal system then.

Hi
do you know any history regarding post in Ireland? I have an MC from 1869 and the bride's father (back in Ireland) is listed as a Postman.

Was there much post back in the first half of the 19th century? and is there any directories which I might be able to track him down in?

thanks
