I know Hartnett retired on pension from C-on-S in 1911, but that's the extent of my knowledge of the man.
When did Willie Hartnett ...

You can be pretty sure
Peter Williams never compromised his position,his family was always highly regarded.Informers,of whatever ilk,would not have been well

Thanks for the fabulous replies. I'll certainly look into hunting down his service records and possibly his birth certificate, if possible

distance!!

Thanks Michael and to Peter also. I have just discovered this morning i
have another relation in the RIC.He was Sgt Daniel McLoughlin. He was 48

at that time.If you had any information on him and i could get the 2
service records together then. Thanks again Kieran

record,but got no reply. On the ancestry site it states under enlisted:
1852 D 1878. I presume D is for died. ...

"guidance on this site to where you can obtain his
service record"? I've not found that so far, and I'd be grateful if you could point me in
the right direction. I've had very little experience with researching UK service data -- my first impressions are ...
