SynopsisIn 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.

Studies, History, Genealogy & Archives, Irish Studies, Policing], In the period 1832 to 1857, some 4,000 men served in the Irish Revenue Police, working to supress illicit distillation. In this book, Jim Herlihy shows how to find information on them, providing an excellent resource for those interested in the history of the force, and of the period. A chapter on the history and origin of the Irish Revenue Police and its predecessor forces engaged in 'still-hunting' is followed by one describing what a career in the Revenue Police might have been like, another on tracing your ancestor in the IRP, and a short memoir by IRP Lieutenant Matthew Power (1820-84). All this is followed by an extensive series of appendices filled with detailed information on the Irish Revenue Police and those who served in it, from the force's rank structure, to the distribution across Ireland of its divisions, stations and parties. The centrepiece of this is a complete list of every man who served in the force from 1830 to 1857. There is also information on what happened to Irish Revenue Police members after the force was disbanded in 1857, including the gratuities many were given, and lists of those who went on to join the Royal Irish Constabulary, the Dublin Metropolitan Police and the Londonderry Borough Police.
