Karen When I was trying to trace my Cunningham Porter O'BRIEN in the Army I thought he may have come up from the Tipperary Militia as he was recommended into the Army by Colonel BAGWELL Tipperary Militia. The following came to light. From WO/68/68 The Tipperary Militia was formed in 1793. The first Colonel was John BAGWELL, who held the position between 25/4/1793-22/9/1805, when he resigned. Colonel Right Hon W M Bagwell took over on 23/9/1805, and held the position until he died on 4/11/1826. The militia records show Rt Hon W M BAGWELL died at Earl Grove Queenstown on 4/11/1826. I hope this is of interest to you. Jennifer Geelong Australia > >William Cleburne was of Ballycolliton (Ballycultan?) Castle. The >Bagwell's were from Clonmel and later Marlfield. > >Thanks, >Karen >
