Constable Posts: 1 21-Jan-2012 8:04 PM	Remove this ad I am trying to find out a bit about this old photo that we found in my wife's family house gear Tubbercurry Sligo. The location of the house is Magheranore , and the family name is Gilmartin, the possibilities in the family are Patrick Gilmartin b1851, and his 2 sons Patrick 1874 and Thomas 1876. If anyone can help identify the location or confirm that these are Gilmartins I will be really grateful. http://www.flickr.com/pho...ywheelergx20/6635728057/ Last Edited By: rayw53 22-Jan-2012 11:02 AM.

Though if you're sure the two men with heads uncovered are his sons then I'd be wrong in my assumption. I know of a Sgt P Gilmartin who was in charge at Pomeroy in 1920, but that would mean he was around 70 then so unlikely. A Constable Patrick Gilmartin 42198 was pensioned in 1917. A Sgt Gilmartin was involved in the Wexford Cycling and Athletic Club in 1903, another appers in 1905 in charge of Whitehouse Barracks, and another in 1915 at Trillick (these may all be the same man?). If you can establish a service number for him and his sons then it may be possible to be more certain. There were not many Gilmartins in the police which will make it easier. Peter Mc
