Hi
can anyone tell me if there was something going on around this time for my gg grandad to be in Ireland?
He left the army in 1897 and on his daughters birth cert in 1899 he is listed as being a railway plate layer. on the 1901 census his wife and children are in London with no sign of him, until 1902 when he enlists in Ballincollig in Ireland. There my g grandads brother was born in 1903.
I just cant see a logical reason as to why he would go to Ireland in the first place, was there something going on around the turn of the century that would make someone do that trip?
