I have just started working on the Irish Kingsman lines along with Josie Garnet who is connected on the Burns side. She told me about this message that you posted.

Robert and Anna Maria had 10 children, 4 of whom were living in 1911 (Irish census). With this family on the same census is Robert William Carr, grandson, born 1898 in Dublin.

My best theory at the moment is that Robert (born in the 1840s) was the son of William Kingsman (b1807, Wiltshire) who was a soldier in the Dragoon Guards and was discharged from the Army in Dublin with the intention of remaining in Ireland.

I am trying to find any information on the Kingsman family of Castlebar, Ireland. Robert Kingsman was the head of the family and married Anna Maria Burns (dob 27/2/1846). I believe one of their daughters, my great grandmother Mary Kingsman, came over to Manchester at the end of the 19th Century and was a female officer at Strangeways Prison. She married Frederick Carr (dob 23/10/1869).
