My gret-great grandfather James CONROY was born approximately 1815. He joined the 27th Foot Regiment at Enniskillen in 1833 at the age of 18 years. His profession was that of a tailor. His regiment was posted to South Africa in 1835. Where was he born and who were his parents?

Hi,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and help you to further your research.
It may be an idea to check with the UK National Archives to see if you can find any service records of him that may give you some more information:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/
Otherwise, as Clones Fermanagh posted on your other message it will be difficult to find more information given the early date of birth.
Alternatively you could try contacting Monaghan Genealogy for some assistance, however a fee may apply. Here is their email address: theomcmahon@eircom.net
Kind regards,
