Hi Shirley and Listers: Re James JARRETT his wife Mary and the army in Roscommon I, too, have been reading the newspaper headings, with great interest, My 2xg-grandfather was in the army and stationed in Boyle, Roscommon in 1842 - 1846. While he was there he married a lady called Mary. Although I have his date of marriage, 24 January 1845, from his Army records, I have been unable to find the surname of his bride. I don't know if she was a local girl or the daughter of another soldier. I have checked his army records which I have in my possession and the Irish marriage indices. I have also looked at the fiche for marriages (1796-1955), for Gr Brit army officers, their families at stations abroad although I don't think Ireland was 'abroad'! Anyway, I have had no luck to date. My ancestor was stationed with the 38th of Foot, South Staffordshire Regiment. He was a Corporal and promoted to Sergeant while he was there. Like Shirley I would be most interested in any Roscommon army snippets.

Hi Diana read your listing and noticed the surname LLOYD Do you have any connection to an Enoch LLOYD I have found him in Worcestor but have not been able to find his origins in Wales, I have him back tovery late 1700's in Worcestor and think he was born about 1758 Cheers Therese in OZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Davies" <davies@idirect.com> To: <IRL-ROSCOMMON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 10:01 AM Subject: Re: [Roscom'n] Army > Hi Shirley and Listers: > > Re James JARRETT his wife Mary and the army in Roscommon > > I, too, have been reading the newspaper headings, with great interest, My > 2xg-grandfather was in the army and stationed in Boyle, Roscommon in 1842 - > 1846.
