Constable Patrick Fitzpatrick, Service No : 38624

Service Record Image: http://mattman.iflaf.com/...rick_Fitzpatrick_RIC.jpg

Joined RIC 1872 and was pensioned 25 years later in 1897.

Couple of things I am curious about :

- References
In a number of the columns there appear to be further document references, e.g. in marriage column 38624D/79451, can these references be followed up or searched anywhere else, I'm particularly interested in the marriage record.

- Rewards
In the rewards column it shows (I think) :

Sub. Rec 29.6.87

Guessing the end is 29th June 1887, what does the Sub. Rec mean ?


- Punishments
Patrick received 4 punishments, all listed as Fines of varying amounts of shillings, is there any means of finding out what these fines might have been for.

I'm new to this site, and would like first to say that I enjoy reading a number of the posts.

Now for a little of why I'm trying to find information of Samuel Laird on this forum.

Samuel Laird is my gr-gr-grandfather, that has been a very hard person to find, as I have been doing my family ancestry.
I final find him after close to 20 years of searching by accident of reading a number archive newpapers from Canada.

Samuel Laird
b. abt 1839 Antrim, Ireland (from a newspaper article)
m. abt 1871 to a Sarah Donaldson. (they came to Canada in Jul of 1871)
d. Oct 23, 1917. Acton, Canada

In one of the newpaper articles, it was stated he would regale the listeners about his time with the (Royal) Irish Constabulary.
So, I am hoping someone can help me, with any information about his service with the Constabulary.

Thank you
Bruce Kretser

My Grandfather knew James Ashe owner ot that Pub in the 1950's.  So my grandfather may have been related to those Ashes.

  • Have come across information of Sub Inspector Comyns themselves?
ANY help would be very much appreciated, and if any members who need specific RIC research checks at The National Archives

I'm trying to track down a Service Number for Allan Rutherford, possibly in the RIC in 1860-1880, I don't have an enlistment date or definative facts that he was in the RIC.
Orginally from Lockerbie, ended up in Stranorlar, Co. Donegal, where he married in 1886 to a Katherine Tinney
Any help would be appreciated, my father is tracing the family tree and comes up short with Allan's profession.

Thanks
