Michael, Thanks for the info on Bridge Street. I don't know where Ambrose is buried. Newry or Co Kerry, his birthplace, I presume.

Thanks.

Do you know whether he is buried in Newry?

The date the pair solved the case is listed in the Parliamentary Papers mentioned above as 5 April 1870. The information you found would indicate that the official RIC file reflected this by 30 June. Listed under "Rewards, Marks of Distinction, and Favourable Records" on the copy I have of Ambrose's RIC record is "H.Y.[?] S. 5/4/70 C129?7" and an unreadable word beneath. From the date, this refers to the sheep-stealing case.

I should mention that something is written on Ambrose's record under "Punishments", but I can't read it.

They not only caught the culprit, but recovered the victim, too! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RichardM50) http://irishconstabulary.com/reply/573 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:26:03 PST http://irishconstabulary.com/reply/572/Ambrose-Moriarty#reply-572 Co Down-18,661 Maguire,Philip-sub-constable-Record-c12,957-19,984.

Ambrose lived on Bridge Street which, I've been told doesn't look the same. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RichardM50) http://irishconstabulary.com/reply/571 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:20:06 PST http://irishconstabulary.com/reply/568/Ambrose-Moriarty#reply-568
Great story.Even more interesting as I lived on the Rathfriland Road for many years.I'm not quite sure that there would be an obituary for your Great Grandfather.I tried without success to obtain one in relation to my Great Grandfather.A long shot maybe the local paper at that time 'The Frontier Sentinal' which is stored in Newry Library.Hope this helps. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (LurganSpade) http://irishconstabulary.com/reply/568 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:28:25 PST http://irishconstabulary.com/topic/739/Ambrose-Moriarty As a follow up to the query I posted in the Genealogy Forum about my great-grandfather Ambrose Moriarty's RIC service, here is what I know.

Sub-Constables Ambrose Moriarty and  Philip Maguire were acknowledged for the "arrest and conviction of a sheep stealer" in April, 1870.  This is in Parliamentary Papers, Accounts and Papers, Law and Crime; Police; Law and Crime (Ireland) 23 October 1884--14 August 1885. Vol. LXIV.  For those who haven't seen this title (in Google Books), it includes "Favourable Records" received by members of the RIC between 1870-75 and 1880-85.  Fascinating reading.  Other volumes are also... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RichardM50) http://irishconstabulary.com/topic/739 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 13:44:05 PST
