Ah, sorry :-(I’m just pissed nobody got my Michael Collins reference.
Not the thread for it, so I won’t get started on a Friday night which is traditionally my more light hearted, music and drink night, but a lot of Irish fought in the British Army in the First World War, thinking it was the right thing to do and Ireland would be rewarded afterwards with Britain respecting the 1912 Home Rule Bill.Ah, sorry :-(
I always like your posts in the Brexit thread though ;-)
The Irish issue is interesting for me as I've been trying to learn more through my ancestry.
1800s Dublin (The Coombe) is my point of interest at the moment, particularly how 2 of my g grandad's cousins fought for the British Army at that time (one of whom died in Belgium).
It's fascinating.
Edit...not 1800s fighting, WW1 fighting ;-)
+itThese days I can't keep up.
Don't want to derail the thread, but yes I found them too. Excellent aren't they ;-)There were some Dublin marriage and Baptism Records online I was shocked to find them free instead of the expensive History sites.
As I won’t pay it was fantastic to make a breakthrough and find family way back in the 1700‘s. I’ve given up searching now as a lot of records are just not there it was a hobby for a short time.
