I am trying to find out any information on my gt-grandfather Thomas Madden. He was born in Ireland, possibly Londonderry, around 1860. He has listed his profession as Policeman on his marriage certificate, and according to ancestry.com there are 4 Thomas Madden's in The Royal Irish Constabulary 1816-1921 index. Would anyone who has access to this be able to check for me? Any help is appreciated, Thanks Graeme
