I found out recently from the 1901 Census that my great grandfather –John Hughes - was an RIC Constable.
Other census info: 39 last birthday, born Co. Rosommon, married and living in Maudlin St., Kilkenny.
There are 36 John Hughes in Herlihy’s List. From his possible date of birth range (1/4/1861 to 31/3/1862) and minimum enlisting age of 19 I worked out that he should be one of the following 8 service nos:
45016, 45220, 45603, 48148, 54179, 55423, 60,373 or 60510.
Discovered lately that he died in the Workhouse, Kilkenny City on 22 Dec 1902.
Can anyone help further?
Many thanks
Tommy Keane
