Looking for any info on James Maher, born Dec. 1875 at Graystown, Co. Tipperary to William Maher and Mary Skehan. James enlisted in July 1900 at Tralee in the 101st Foot, Royal Munster Fusiliers. I can find no records for him after this.
Thanks, Celeste

Celeste,
Subscription site www.findmypast.ie has a record of a number of "James Maher" in England
I attach some records which are partially burned following the bombing of London in WW11.
One has a marriage record to a Rose Harriet Prince which appears to be 1905.
Subscription site www.rootsireland.ie records siblings of James, some recorded as "Meagher"
who were baptised in Killenaule, Co.Tipperary.
The records may not have any relevance to your query.
Regards,
McCoy

Thanks for looking! These 3 records to do not appear to be James Maher from Graystown, Co. Tipperary who enlisted in July 1900 at Tralee in the 101st Foot, Royal Munster Fusiliers. If you have any general information/records about the 101st Foot, Royal Munster Fusiliers beginning in 1900, or where I might find such information/records, that could help.
Thank you again,
Celeste

Celeste,
I attach some records on the Royal Munster, downloaded from Google.
I did not find any record for a James Maher. It is possible that he changed Regiments?

Thank you so much. This is very interesting history. I was hoping to find a military record for James Maher, like a discharge date, etc. Is there a website with British military records that might have this information? (Since this was before 1921 Independence, and I assume the records will still be held by the British Govt.)

Celeste,
Do you have the service number for James Maher?
Has any of his relatives information in relation to the various countries that he served in.
There is an address for the National Army Museum - Royal Hospital Road, London SW3 4 HT
This information is taken from the "Royal Munster Fusiliers - National Army Museum - Page 14"
in my previous Post. There is a web site shown on the top of page 1
Best Wishes,
McCoy
