curragh camp about 1860

Cork

George Truman married whilst a serving soldier in Curragh Camp about 1860.

15th Co.Royal Engineers (Sapper)

A daughter ( Mary Ann Trueman) was born on the 21st march 1861.

Family stories say that the mother, possibly a "Local girl" (name unknown ) died at childbirth or shortly after.

On the 1871 UK census mary was born in Kildare

On the 1881 UK census she was born in Queenstown.

It is fairly certain that George Trueman returned to the UK ( Left the army?)

Since posting this original message, I have stumbled on further possible info on Roots ireland.

Church marriage record

20.6.1860

Parish/District COBH Co Cork

Husband George Trueman Wife Ellen Cotter

Denomination Roman Catholic

Witness's Thomas Mahony and Hannah Lamb

Priest : J C

Any help regarding possible PARISHS covering Curragh camp may assist in breaking through this brick wall would be appreciated.
