You can look up indexes to army pensioners on the PRO website - WO97 rings a bell. Ireland was part of Britain then so they could join the army like any other British citizen. MB

Yes, there were lots of Irish born soldiers, RA and other Units based at Woolwich Garrison around the time you are looking at. Although my g.grandfather was in Canada in 1880 and married there. Good hunting Jan xx

Ireland wasn't another country then - only became independent in 1920's I think
