          That's a shame. Still there might be other clues in there. There are also some transcriptions here. Put constabulary in the search box. If you know what county you can then look from the search results. Or you can just search for the name

            Val, there is a forum for the Royal Irish Constabulary.
            I've used it in the past and received some useful help.

              The records for IC and RIC are at Kew. They are reasonably informative giving birth place of County, no parents names but places of service and whether married and wife's name and county of birth. A lot of the records are written in numbers and unless you have the code is meaningless. Date of death or if have pensions then may get more information. Pensions after 1872/4 do have a little more information.

              Jim Herlihy is the expert on this and has written several books, one of which gives names of all IC and RIC members. I wrote to him and received a lot of help as well as finding one of mine at Kew.

                  I am not sure if you have this link to the RIC at TNA but it will tell you all about the RIC records and how to find them. The book they talk about behind the desk at Kew is Jim Herlihys book.



                  Amazon has all his books and you may be able to borrow the copy you want from a local big library near you? This particular book is the one behind te desk at Kew which is the one where I found my man! The book is called
