records of soldiers in Ireland 1877
« on: Sunday 11 August 19 18:37 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find info on a David Condon who married in Fermoy Ireland in 1877. His father was Patrick Condon.  He gave his occupation as a soldier. In 1881 he was in Manchester and gave his age as 40 and his occupation as a pensioner. I am presuming this is an army pension but could be wrong. I can not find him in any army records and wondered if anyone could suggest where to look . I know what happened to him after 1881 but know nothing prior to his marriage in 1877.

So, did he have other Siblings?

You could check on https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp using Search attached.

Then you'd know he was Local.

Did he name his regiment on the marriage certificate?  What was his address on the marriage certificate?

Worldwide army index 1871, possibly 1861, might throw up some possibilities.
Birth of daughter Mary in Ireland (Clonmel?), circa 1878-9, has that been found?

Sarah, nee Tattan (usually Tatton), was actually a widow when she married David Condon.

Here's her first marriage in 1865 in Fermoy to Michael Brereton, who was also a Soldier

I looked for Michael's Death, with no Location!  "Not found" as Images aren't online.

Didn't look for any children from first Marriage.

Didn't look for any children from second Marriage either.
