British Unit at Beggar's Bush Barracks 1880
« on: Wednesday 17 February 16 14:35 GMT (UK) »
My GG Grandfather Philip Clements married my GG Grandmother Esther O'Rourke 10/1880 at St Andrews in Dublin.  Philip's address reads Beggar's Bush Barracks. I google mapped the place and see what it looks like and found streets on both sides of the "Square" were West and East Cannon Mews. I got a list of units in Dublin in 1880 a few were Royal Horse Artillery  but does not give exact location. I assumed because of the street names it was the Royal Horse Artillery. There were several places used at that time. One being Dublin Castle. When my G Grandmother Catherine Clements (6/1881) was baptized at St Andrews the address is listed as 12 Shoe Lane. It does not exist anymore. Any place I can go to find out what unit my grandfather was in. On marriage entry at St Andrews the column titles were in Latin one I assume was birth place and it had "Yorkshire" Any help I would appreciate it.

Thank you. I have seen these records. Since I could not read Latin I assumed it was birth place.  Catherine Brigid married Charles Byrne in 1905. My grandfather Patrick Joseph was born 1906. Charles emigrated to USA in 1907 as single. Catherine and Patrick emigrated in 1909. She listed her mother as relative with address of 9 Lower Gloster Street. They remarried in 1917 in upstate New York. Still interested in what unit was at Beggar's Bush  in 1880.

FindMyPast has army papers for a Philip Clements from Sherburn near Leeds who was serving with 84th Foot in Dublin in 1880. Mother Bridget. No mention of the marriage.

Shaun that's right on the money. St Andrews where he and Esther got married has father Patrick deceased and mother Bridget. So now I think the next step is to see if the Childer's Reform changed the number of the unit. Only mother is listed on emigration bill of lading from ship Baltic.
Again thank you for the assist. I'm not a member of FindMyPast so I am unable to view the documents.
