My great, great grandfather James Shanahan was born in Ireland about 1835 in Newry (all this information is from his military records) on his marriage certificate he puts his father's name down as Hugh Shanahan. James' son Thomas Shanahan writes home to his wife from France during WW1 and information about him is published in the local catholic paper and it says his father and grandfather were both in the army. I have a copy of James' army records but can't find his father, Hugh's. Any suggestions where I might find this?
