John MARTIN & Family 1871-1891

[Aussie Derek]

Looking for any info. on the following family..
John Martin c 1841 Dublin
Hannah c 1850 Portsmouth
Clara c 1871 Portsmouth
Ernest Edward c 1872 Kent
Maud c 1875 Kent
John c 1876 Ireland ?
Florence 1880 Ireland ?

In 1871 John, Hannah & Clara are on the 1871 English Census, John is with the Army.
In 1891 The family are on the English Census. John is chief warder at the military prison in Chester.
In 1901                       "         Scotland    "          "             "                             "           "  Stirling
In 1911                       "         Irish          "          "  is a gate keeper and on Army Pens. in County Down.

Nothing throws any light in 1881 in England or Scotland. I do know that he was chief warder at the military prison in Cork in 1894.
Any info. on this 1881 period would be appreciated. Thanks from Australia.

Thanks for that, I had just found those two births about two hours ago on Irish Births via Ancestry.

Hi Aussie Derek, you appear to know which prisons he worked in, don't you know if he was Royal Artillery etc, or dragoons etc. and what rank is a chief warder in a prison. I came across John Martin a Sergeant Major of the Royal Artillery in 1877 in an army index on www.forces-war-records.co.uk. non commissioned officers are probably listed annually in the Army index.
Good luck in the detail you seek
