I do feel there will be some truth in there somewhere,even though many of the family tales have been proved to be a little "inventive"
Much appreciated

His career would seem to have started, or perhaps even ended, before the first records were gathered in 1816. I would say that none of the Edward Farrells you had located were contenders. I've also looked up variants of the Farrell name, and searched the DMP registers, again without success. If Edward was in the "Irish Constabulary" - and there is no reason to doubt it - then it may well be that he was in the early baronial police, or perhaps the Peace Preservation Force. If records still exist for these bodies then I'm not aware of them; but you never know.

His (James') death certificate says that his father's name was Edward Farrell and his occupation was Irish Constabulary.

I wonder if you could tell me where I might look to find out if this information is correct.
I had a look at Jim Herlihy's index book in our local library and there are five Edward Farrells listed,though assuming that James' father would have had to have been born at the turn of the 19th century,all but one seem too late to be him.
It has been suggested to me that Edward may have been a member of an earlier constabulary from which the force was formed.
The only information I have is from the son's death... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Joycon) http://irishconstabulary.com/topic/591 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:46:29 PST
