I have members of one of my ancestral families the McCormicks, born in the Enniscorthy Barracks,Co. Wexford over a 150-year period. They were members of the British Army's various Regiments of Foot. Occasionally they were based in Shropshire in England but returned to Enniscorthy if they were still alive after their battle assignments. Family traveled with them all over the world including to Barbados, Jamaica, the East and West Coasts of India, even the Andaman Islands (Spice Islands). I gather families were often left aboard ship anchored offshore to avoid the current conflicts in various places.
