Dr Thomas Parkinson Glin, 1839-1845

I found evidence of a Thomas PARKINSON born 1837 Rathcail Limerick, I wonder if this could be Thomas's son. There is a village Rathkeale less than 20 miles from Glin

That sounds promising.   This could indeed be Thomas' son and Richard's brother.  Is there any more information on him.... parents etc?   It would be wonderful to fill in the blanks on these Parkinson men.    According to the 1915 Barnhill Poorhouse record which I saw the original copy of.. it clearly states Richard Parkinson my G.G. Grandfather was born in Glin and this information would be given by him or his daughter at the time of his admission to the Poorhouse.  We just have to continue to dig and hopefully we'll be lucky.

Where did he join up?  Was it in Ireland or the UK?  Again everything we probably need to know is at Kew.  We need someone who can go and check the records there.
