corisande Posted 3 May , 2010 Share Posted 3 May , 2010 It came up on an earlier thread here that this man was on a list of 2nd Connaught Rangers Prisoners who were sent to Zossen. Only the Irish Brigade members were transferred there 8441 Private P O'Neill, Georges St, Chicago, USA Apart from this and his MIC. I have little on him, apart from him being a labourer before enlisting on Casement's list (not much help) Can anyone give me a rough enlistment date for 8441. And feel free to add anything else. I have no idea why he came from USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corisande Posted 3 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2010 Thanks Mark, That's what I was getting at with his date of enlistment, as to whether he could have been in 1911 census or was still back in USA. Funny with most of these men it is a question of adding all the little bits together to see if one can make a bigger sum! Off to explore Abbeyleix O'Neills now, I feel Rootschat coming on.

corisande Posted 3 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2010 Keogh, the Irish Brigade Sgt Major, has O'Neill as coming from Dublin, so the second option may be the one I will explore first. Keogh is not the most accurate of writers, but manages to get most of them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 3 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2010 Is there any way of extracting "Overseas Military" from version of 1901 Census on Ancestry, similar to the way one can see who was serving in , say, India in 1911 census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhifle Posted 4 May , 2010 Share Posted 4 May , 2010 Hi, I think it only covers the Royal Navy Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 4 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2010 Mark I ran the query on Rootschat too, and it seems that Overseas soldiers were indeed ignored/forgotten in 1901 census. Nobody has given me a definitive answer as to what exactly soldier's status was in 1901 status, but consensus is that you cannot get anything from 1901 for soldiers serving outside UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
