Find Living Relatives

Thank you

I have been looking through newspapers online, trying to find out more on William Fitzpatrick's service as a constable in the RIC. However I cannot seem to find anything other than his service record.

He served for nearly 32 years, surely there must be more than just his service record

You would need to be looking at the newspapers of the areas he was posted ..does his service record you have give details of his postings..? If so then you would have to check the Magistrate Records for the individual areas to see if his name came up....could be there is a mention of him but unless he was involved in anything out of the ordinary there may be nothing that would build up a picture of his life in the RIC

He was stationed at Cork West Riding from 1867 to 1879. He then served at Tipperary South Riding, I guess around Cashel and Fethard from 1879 to 1889

I don't think we are going to find more information on William.

I have been trying to find marriages for his children, with little success.

It seems a number of them have married by 1911, though Katie had died by then

As far as I am aware, I do not know if any of the children became members of the RIC

So far I have found out that it is likely that Ellen, Gertrude and Kathleen never married, as they are still single in 1933, which would put them in their late 30s and there is no compatible marriages that look positive.

Thomas, William and Bridget's son, born 1887 is still in Fethard in 1903, but he is not on the 1911 census, no death record means he was likely still alive by then
