In the period 1832 to 1857 some 3,700 men served in the Irish Revenue Police. In this book, Jim Herlihy shows how to find information on these policemen, providing an excellent resource for those interested in the history of the IRP and the Irish Famine period. A chapter on the history and origin of the Irish Revenue Police and its predecessor forces engaged in 'still-hunting' is followed by a section in tracing your ancestors in the IRP. A complete list of IRP stations and Revenue Police Parties and their geographical distribution is shown. The rank structure and duties of the IRP is enumerated. To demonstrate the richness of the sources for constructing IRP biographies a rare case history of IRP Lieutenant Matthew Power (1820-84), later Chief Constable of Worcester (1861-84) who served in the IRP from 1847 to 1854 is included. The complete list includes every man who served in the IRP, giving his surname, forename and year of enlistment and indicates those, who on disbandment of the IRP on 1 October 1857 transferred to the (Royal) Irish Constabulary (519), the Dublin Metropolitan Police (48), the Londonderry City Police (3) or progressed to become Resident Magistrates (3). In the case of those ex-IRP men who joined the RIC, their registered numbers are given and whether they subsequently were dismissed, resigned, pensioned or died during their RIC service. Of those 496 ex-IRP men who were disbanded and did not subsequently join another police service, their name, final rank, station and gratuity amount is given. [Subjects: 19th C.

The Black & Tans, 1920-1921: A Complete Alphabetical List, Short History and Genealogical Guide

From 6 January 1920, recruiting to the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) was extended outside of Ireland to candidates with military experience to supplement the native Irish force, then depleted by massive resignations, suffering IRA attacks, and widespread social exclusions. This new force was called the RIC Special Reserve. By July 1921 a total of 7,683 candidates recruited in Britain (381 Irish-born) had arrived in Ireland. From 3 September 1920 a second and separate group of 2,189 'Temporary Constables' (312 Irish-born) were recruited and attached to the newly-opened headquarters of the motorised division of the RIC at Gormanston Camp in Co. Meath. A third group known as the Veterans & Drivers Division attached to Gormanston Camp comprising of 1,069 (190 Irish-born) were recruited. Due to huge volume of recruits being immediately required and arriving in Ireland at such short notice, there was a shortage of complete regular 'rifle-green' RIC uniforms being available, they were fitted initially with ill-fitting khaki trousers and green tunics and vice-versa and collectively by March 1920 gained the title 'Black & Tans.' Even though the uniform situation was sorted by December 1920, the title 'Black & Tans' would remain long after into history. In this book Jim Herlihy lists alphabetically, every individual member of these three distinct groups who was liable to be called a 'Black and Tan.' The lists include the RIC registered number, surname, forename, birth year, native country & county, religion, the recruiting office where they enlisted, whether they had served as a soldier or as a sailor, previous occupation and whether they, resigned (with the given excuses), were discharged or dismissed, pensioned or disbanded, were killed or died in the service. The book also includes a chapter on tracing and identifying 'Black and Tan' ancestors in the RIC Nominal Roll of 1 January 1921 with several sets of appendices.
