This is an off the wall request, so to speak. I am trying to establish a possible death of Paul Bevan listed in the Welsh Parish of Llangyfelach as the father Sara Bevan, and he was entered in the parish record as a soldier in the militia. Local militia history states they were ordered to serve in Youghal Co.Cork Ireland and sailed to Waterford from Bristol in September 1815 until January 1816 then they went to Clonmel staying there until 28th April and returning to Cardiff in May 1816 Would anybody know if such a regiment generated local records in Ireland during their stay at the two towns in Ireland. Such as deaths by accident or otherwise, Except for two entries in this Welsh Parish as the father of two girls in 1813 and 1815, there is no trace of his or his wife Mary's existence. Bryan Richards
