    William Keegan with the Dublin death of 1895 was buried at Glasnevin cemetery, Dublin. Credits needed for that site but will re-check another where volunteers have recorded.

      If he was a policeman before approximately1874 then he might well have been a member of the Irish Constabulary but if after 1874 then he was most probably a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and would therefore be a British policeman until 1920 after which he would be a member of the Irish Garde.

      IC and RIC records are at Kew but not online, as far as I know, so you would need someone to do a search. There is a book at Kew giving you all members of this force, but it is also available for purchase on Amazon. The book is by Jim Herlihy, giving you all the members of The IC and RIC which can then lead you to the actual records at Kew. This is how I found my IC member.

        The PSNI museum in Belfast has copies of RIC service records from 1816 to 1921 covering all counties in Ireland. They will do look ups and send you copies, for a £25 fee:



        Many RIC police officers did join the Royal Ulster Constabulary or what were known as the Civic Guards (later, An Garda Siochana - the Gardai) in 1922 but it wasn’t automatic. Everyone in the RIC was stood down on 31.8.1922 and those wanting to join either of the 2 new forces then had to apply.
