Absolutely fantastic!!! You are spot on...£180.11s.7d..I suppose after 20yrs in the army he left Georgina fairly comfortably off for those days....Still dying to know where he was born and his parents.

I have researched Patrick my Gt Grandfather for some time.
Here is a resume. I have never been able to trace his parentage or place of birth.

Patrick McCormick Resume


Patrick McCormick born 14.7.1837.
Enlisted into the Army at Omagh 13th July 1860

1861 Census has him at Westry Barracks (Gillingham Area)


21/9/1867 he marries Georgina Adkins in Montreal, Quebec

In October the same year his regiment returns to England lands at Plymouth and proceeds to Newport Monmouthshire.

Patrick is now a Sergeant of Musketry and in 1869 His first child Alice is born at Monmouth before moving to Aldershot.

His regiments postings keep them moving 1870 Chatham 1871 Woolwich( Patrick on 1871 census in Woolwich with Georgina and Alice)

1872 Ireland(His son Arthur is born at Curragh Camp 1873)
Then out to the Gold Coast Africa for the “Coomassie and Ashanti Expeditions before returning to Portsmouth.
1874 is at Shorncliffe Barracks Folkestone
1875-1880 he is posted at Gibraltar where two more children Frederick and Kathleen are born.
He then transfers from the 2nd Battalion to the First Battalion and is posted to India(Dum Dum) where he serves until falling sick 1883.

He is sent home on sick leave back to his wife where he dies June 1884 at Lambeth

An impressive piece of research! What a pity to get stuck on his parents. Just wondering if getting the will itself would maybe help?

Must go now...back later

Jan,
don't know much about wills. Is it possible to actually get a copy?

I am a descendent so perhaps legally I would be allowed to view it?
If, by some chance, he bequeathed an item to a relative on his side it could give me a lead.
Thank You,
Mike

Yes, you can get a copy, doesn't matter if you are related. I think they only cost about £5. If before 1858 you can download, after this you have to get a hard copy.

Jonesey has a good thread on this -

I am very fond of wills after I managed to sort out a family mystery with one!

Jan

Thank you all for the help...ordered the copy today.
Fingers crossed for a clue to his side of the family.
