Dennis and Michael, thank you so very much for your leads. I had the suspicion that RIC members were not posted to their home counties by looking at various rosters. My grandfather's family appears to have been from the Waterford area, so he may have been posted in Clare. Possibly, that is how he met my grandmother. Again, Thank you, Dennis M.

I tried to send this the day the message appeared but its just now bounced back to me as undelivered - hmmmm Dennis and others A few years ago for £1 you could ask Libraries in the UK to Interloan Books from participating Libraries and that Included Eire. For £1 I obtained this book through this system but could only read it in the Reference Library, however the second time I requested it I was allowed to bring it home as the copy was from somewhere else. I now Believe the fee for this Service is now £5 but not sure if its a £1 deposit in case the Book you request cannot be obtained. I had a couple from Dublin via the Old service and as I say I also looked at this one twice..
