Im looking to extend my knowledge of the ancestors of Patrick Harvey 1724 and their descendents. Any and all assistence would be greatly appreciated. OH, I believe that there is a Harvey family plot at St. Finbarr's in the City of Cork.

There are no church records for the Crossmaglen area for the 1700s and I think you will struggle to find anything that could take your research back any further.

I note that Patrick b 1824 was a police officer in Glasgow. He wouldn’t have served with the Royal Irish Constabulary there though. He would have worked for the City of Glasgow police. I believe they have some personnel records and you might be able to find a little about his career there, if you wanted. Try the Mitchell Library in Glasgow or the Police Museum:
