Constable Posts: 3 Nov 27 11 3:09 PM	Hello Group! Am new to this, and have searched previous posts before trying this out. Looking for Denis McCabe, known to be a constable living at 42 (either Elmwood or ) Fleetwood Terr, Derry, on 4th April 1896. Got this data from my grandmother's long form birth certificate. From what I've found to date, he hung up his uniform by the 1911 census. His wife's name was Bridget (Ward). I realize a lot of this may be repetitive, but anything I could find on Constable McCabe would be helpful. Thanks again! Tom

Constable Posts: 3 Nov 27 11 6:11 PM	Right on both counts, Peter. I'm guessing, of course, that because of "the Job" Denis wasn't living at home with his family in 1901. The RIC's military-patterned style, the same as our RCMP, may have had him living away or staying in another area on a posting. We've got the right Constable, it's the deeper digging that gets me hung up. From what I understand, there aren't a lot of personnel photos of these people either, right? Tom

You could try and track through every RIC barrack in Derry for 1901 and see if his name or initials have been mistranscribed, I did a quick search but came up with nothing. I suspect Rosemount station but he could have been sent out to the country on a job, or even to Depot, on the census night. Also try the Irish Times archive online to see if his name comes up, it may appear at the time of his retirement. There were only 2 Denis's in the RIC, 44096 and 55394, you should get the records of both and work out your man from there. Peter Mc

Constable Posts: 3 Feb 25 12 2:31 PM	Hello again, Mike! Sorry I was late getting back to your posts. I don't always get access to the computer at our home, as our 13 yr old believes in a very active online life. We're looking at another machine... Not sure if the server hiccupped or if this thing is acting it's age. Your post on Denis came through several times, all at the same time on the same day. Will be in touch shortly. Thanks again for your help with this. Peter and yourself have done a lot of work on the RIC from what I've gathered. Not too bad for "not a researcher". Must be something in the genes... Take care. Tom
