Hi there,

I have traced my GGG Grandfather to Castletownbere.and have hit the proverbial brick wall. He was a soldier and I suspect he was stationed at Bere Island.

Here is a link to the birth of his son in 1822 http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/a303e20155788

Could anyone tell me if they know if any records exist that might help me to get back any further.

Many thanks

  • Hi there,

    The English archives has more than 800 muster books and pay lists of Irish county militia and volunteer regiments  WO 13/2574 3370, dating from the end of the 18th century to the late 19th century.

    Hope you find him there,
