Hi! Thank you for allowing me to post here 
My name is Kate. My GGF is like the scarlet pimpernel as far as I can see 
I'm having so much trouble getting information about him.
His name is Timothy Kiely born 1833 in Limerick
In 1857 he was a witness at a baptism in Co Clare (Ogonelloe) and his residence is down as the Barracks.
In 1858 he married my GGM Mary Sheridan in Co Clare.
There is a gap of 6 years between their Marriage and their first child born and died in 1864 - so after a year and a half of studying what little I have I am
presuming he was in RIC and when he married he either had to move due to his wife's family being there and therefore personal connections. Or they went
abroad and then returned to Co Clare around 1864
His name on the parish records for baptisms of his children goes from the spelling Keally to Kiely over the years, but I assume that was due to the clerk
rather than my GGF?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kate. I don't know anything about this man but you should try and get the service record for Timothy Kiely 18533, whose date of entry to the RIC
seems most likely. If you then have any follow up questions come back to us.
O'Gonnelloe was a rural station not far from Killaloe, and on the shores of Lough Derg in Co.Clare. It would have been a lonely posting! |

Hi!
Just got around to getting my GGF's record and there's not much on it. 
I still can't figure out where he was born specifically. He was recommended by an Ibers Eyre JP in Limerick, but I can't find any trace of that person to find a district etc He resigned the RIC in june 1858, withdrew it, then resigned to emigrate in october 1858 - but it doesn't say where to. Plus he was married in april 1858 - but no mention of his wife...why not? A bit disappointing |

Yes it can be frustrating when the record is fairly thin, but then he was only in the police a relatively short time. The records rarely mention a wifes name,
but often reveal what county she was from. as to the J.P., the Eyre surname has a long history in Limerick. It could be that he is Levers Eyre of the Ballyroe
district, Kilfinaghta, Limerick. Worth a shot perhaps? These things can be a bit like unravelling the threads of a detective story.
