Registered User Posts: 1 1-Dec-2009 10:21 PM	Remove this ad does anyone have any info on where I can get more info on my grandfather Patrick Colreavy, born in 1891 in Leitrim Ireland, how long he was stationed in leitrim with the RIC, having looked on ancestry site there are 2 links made in 1902 and 1911 but with no more info apart from the film numbers. Can anyone help me with some links, apparently there is a book with all RIC officers listed, thanks Eileen

There was also a Thomas Colreavy whose service record is 70492. an he would have joined between 15/2/17 and 6/4/20.He may be a relation. Regards Michael Guilfoyle
