His father, my 2GGF, was a farrier in the 4th Dragoon Guards, and I think that my GGF was born while his father was posted in Ireland. His older sister was born in Dundalk, while his younger brother was born in Birmingham, where the family settled after his father's military service. I have to admit to having no knowledge or experience on tracing Irish ancestry. Any suggestions welcome.
