John Dwyer

[carthy2015]

Hi Im trying to get an army record for my uncle John Dwyer he was born in Tipperay about 1871.  His fathers name was John Dwyer also.  I also know his marriage to Mary Cunningham in Drogheda in 1901.  If anyone can help i would be great full

I think you need Ancestry for Army Records, not all survive many were lost to bombs and fire etc during WWII.

Given his age and the timing of his marriage begs the question.
What was his occupation on his marriage cert? (Many marry just after leaving Army Service).
If still in the Army he may have served in the Boer War.
Have you got him in any Census.
If you have a photo of him in uniform there may be clues as to his regiment.

The more clues you have the easier it will be to find the correct John Dwyer.

Also this needs to be moved to Armed Forces board, click on report to moderator and someone will move it for you.

FindMyPast has 3 entries for a Jhn Dwyer, born Tipperary?

1 born Cahr; 1 born Kilballybay; and the 3rd just Tipperary.


These are also available on Ancestry.
Does your local library offer free access to either FindMyPast or Ancestry?
