Hi Lads
Maybe this is out of order, but I'm on a high cos Spurs beat the gooners & chavski in a week..........COYS!! To avoid political issues, I won't mention the unmentionable - like we are gonna beat MUFC next week (haha). But I have bet some of their "supporters" that they won't find an RIC return, or else they owe me €20 each. Will use the energy to try find some more new returns during the week, OK?  All the best Des |

Great idea Des!! Hope you've got plenty of cash though! Hope MUFC get what is coming to them.
Talking of betting, did you know that the founder of bookmakers William Hill was a Black and Tan? I hope to do an article on him, unless someone else volunteers. |

Hi Peter & Keith
Ah well, we got the usual beating at MUFC.....no favours from gooners, Brum or Burnley either. Guess we'll have to get 4th place under our own steam! Anyway, one guy dug up these records: Des |

Looking forward to playing you when we are back in the PL next season. (clue: odds on for 100 points….) Best regards, Keith

Keith,
Didn't know you were a Newcastle fan..................Odds on for the ton of points, you're havin a laff at 99!! Glad the Geordies will be back - apart from our usual collapse "norf of Watford" - specially at St James's Park............ Ex-Spurs Chris H did a great job for ya!!! Always thought he was a great defender for Spurs & Ireland, delighted for him. Just to keep you quiet for a few minutes, here's some more work for you....... D |

Well done Des, £20 the wiser no doubt! I've updated Roscommon now, as regards Monaghan I'm stuck on finding the Form H for Corrinshigagh (Carrickmacross District). I've found, across other counties, that sometimes the Form H is part of a Form A 'bundle', particularly where the family of one of the officers is residing at barracks. It could be I've just missed it - but if you haven't paid over the money yet see if yer man can't add this to his to-do list!!
What I know about Corrinshigagh: Sergeant in Charge was probably Acting Sgt John Duffy 55983 Other names appearing in this sub-district: Const Frederick A Hynes 62239 Const Thomas McDermott Const Herbert S McCready 65460 Peter |

It is a pity the advanced search in the census doesn't allow for a search on Form H, especially with the 1901 census coming along in late June. Interestingly, putting "constabulary" in the occupation box turns up around 1400 entries, many of them RIC pensioners. Keith PS My father eventually settled in Newcastle after leaving Ireland, so it is the home team. It is more a case of suffering than supporting though. CH doing a great job, but pity we missed out on Harry.

Hi Peter
Sorry, drew a blank with that one, despite my Monaghan buddy's efforts. Maybe the return was lost? Also, the names of census districts & RIC locations don't always match. Annoying... Des |

Hi Keith
Yeh, that search option would be really great. Maybe, some year, we'll get it........ Entering R I C as occupation also works, tho apart from pensioners, you also get strange returns of other initials like railwaymen (G N R), graduates (R U I), even chemists! I've tried ranks like constable, const, sergeant & sergt as well - some anomalies, but these are a bit less crude than just initials for surname & forname, I guess. BTW Couldn't resist this one....... - DI (retired?) L.C. Loftus Tottenham's household return is at: http://www.census.nationa...ughrum/Bessmount/678885/ Love the way he was called "Gentleman" (obviously wasn't a Spurs fan, then). Cheers Des |

Hi Guys
Here's another link: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Ballygurteen/Kildee/408636/ I think, from an ancestor's marriage cert that D.C. may be Daniel Carey, Const. He was best man at his colleague Finton Kirwan's (58904) wedding on 17th Feb 1912. Cheers Des |
