I meant to ask. When you looked up John Boles did you also look for any John Bowles? Boles = Bowles generally. -----Original Message----- From: irl-carlow-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-carlow-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JJ Woods Sent: 21 March 2010 16:49 To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] Boles in Myshall 1919. Apparently there were two men named John Boles in the RIC. The registration number of one was 18147 which meant he was recruited between 19/10/1853 and 23/4/1855. The second registration number was 30634, recruitment dates between 19/10/1863 and 8/11/1865. Assuming an age of 20 and taking the latest registration date when recruited that would mean the first man was approximately 84 in 1919 and the second man was approximately 74. It is therefore unlikely either of them was on active service in 1919. Constable Henry Skehin's registration number was 67953, recruitment dates between 16/12/1912 and 15/2/1917. There was a John Bole, registration number 13416 for dates between 12/9/1848 and 12/6/1850. There was an Auxiliary Force with recruitment between 15/12/1881 and 21/11/1882 and an Auxiliary Division between 23/7/1920 and 5/12/1921. I don't know if this information adds much to the discussion but it might. J.
