When I send this I'm going to bed, so don't wait up! A police officer called John Herlihy indexed the RIC General Register so all I had to do was look up the name(s) alphabetically, The name gives the number, then an introductory chapter collates the number with a date range and microfilm references. You need to scroll through the microfilm - beautifully written but not always beautifully photographed - and there's a whole range of info - see earlier responses. All I've done so far is follow one name through the process. Sorry. We can connect direct if we choose, but that leaves Liam and others out of the loop, and they may be interested in the outcome, or want to contribute further. You decide. Good night Rose Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
