The British government may have pension records for your ancestor. Try the National Archives of the United Kingdom http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ You will see that its home page has a whole section on military history. Hopefully you'll find records of service that might provide other clues for you to research. Methodism: you may want to try the Ulster Historical Foundation (http://www.ancestryireland.com) for ideas on research of this religion and its communities in Counties Tyrone and Fermanagh. Good luck from, Clare L. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
