Constable Posts: 1 18-Jul-2010 12:21 AM	Remove this ad Where do I go now? Best guess, My ancestor, Hugh Geraghty, b.1817 would have enlisted in the RIC c 1836, married Johanna Lynch c. 1843. He had a daughter (1845) in Kildimo, Limerick. He remarried Margaret Enright in St. John's Limerick (1849), with children in Kildimo (1850), Kilcornan & Stonehall, (1852) St. Mary's (1859) The civil record for the birth of the fifth daughter in 1865 mentions that Hugh is a "pensioner form. police on Athlunkard Street, Limerick." The civil death register mentions "pensioner RIC, Sandmall, St. John's Limerick, 8 days bronchitis." Where do I go from here? I'm hopeful that there might be a service number and detailed information about his life. Thank you in advance -- I didn't even know what the initials RIC stood for yesterday! Raymond

He is called Hugh everywhere except the Kildimo parish register, where they used "Hugo." I am thrilled and can't wait to share this with family. His daughter came to Hell's Kitchen in New York City and with her Cat-o-Nine tails would whip the unruly crowd into order. The police would call for her assistance. Now the legend has a historical note: her dad was a constable. With great spirit of celebration, Raymond
