Perhaps someone can help me. Mt paternal grandfather was James O'Regan (or Regan) and was living in Labasheeda, County Clare at the time of his marriage to my grandmother, Nora Ryan during June, 1909. The wedding certificate lists him as being a member of the RIC but does not list a barracks. The 1911 census of Clare does NOT have him living in Labasheeda with his wife. He may have been in the Mountjoy area of County Dublin living with his married sister (Delia Quinn) and her husband, according to the 1911 census. I can't say I am 100% sure that it is him, but things lie up pretty well. QUESTION: Are there any good resources that list the RIC rosters for that time period - say 1905 to 1911? Is there a listing of the RIC barracks throughout Ireland for that period? Thanks, Dennis doregan at verizon dot net

For records of the Royal Irish Constabulary, you have to deal with Her Majesty's Archives in Kew Gardens or online.

One thing to keep in mind when researching members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and that is that a new recruit would be posted to a county distant from his home county and relations. If he married a local girl he would subsequently be reassigned to yet another distant county. This was to avoid any influence being brought to bear by or against his relations.

Dennis, It has been reported that the on-line 1911 Census is to be extended to enable searching by new attributes such as Religion, Occupation etc. - supposedly sometime in 2010. This should help narrow your search. regards Michael
