He was a soldier in the British Army and I know he served in Cork at some time. He married and Irish lass, but I do not know her place of birth or their date and place of marriage. Which brings me to Athlone. After he left the army they lived for a short while in Mount Talbot, Roscommon, which is not too far from Athlone. I have read that Athlone was a garrison town - would British soldiers (he was in the Royal Engineers) have been stationed there in the 1860s? Are there marriage records, although I found nothing in the Dublin GRO. > Vicki > My husband's great-grandfather, Daniel Joseph Hutchinson, was also a British soldier, family legend says "a Galway man" -- he was a lieutenant in an East Kent regiment called "The Buffs." He was married at Kilteevan to Margaret Morris. Roscommon was one of the places his regiment was stationed -- Clonmel was another -- it was in Clonmel that my husband's grandfather was born. Another duty station was Santamaura (no real clue where that was). In the mid-1860s the family was back in Roscommon -- possibly because he had retired from the army. Although his wife and children were Catholics, he apparently was Church of Ireland -- he and his wife are buried iin the churchyard of St. Coman's in Roscommon. I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who might be researching any of these families, or who has any information on The Buffs.
