About Edmund Arnsby

 

Edmund and his brother Robert Henry Arnsby were sent to the Royal Hibernian School as boys upon the death of their father.


We would like to Thank Mr. Peter Goble for the information below and for his work recording the data from the Royal Hibernian Military School Admissios Ledgers.

The information below, has been extracted from WO143/27 Boys index 1830-1918 and WO143-78 a nominal roll of boys at the Royal Military Asylum.

1847 á 1880. Entries common to both ledgers have been corrected to those in WO143-78, this I consider is a Master Document, which commenced on the 1st Jan 1847 .

NB. The religion is correct for Edward; different to that of his parents,perhaps they were led towards the RC faith. The info covers the time that Edward was at the RHMS. Height and weight were as at the time of admission.


Although we are fortunate to have so many treasured family pictures, we have never found a photograph of Ned or his brother 'Bob' Robert Henry that was taken when they were at the Royal Hibernian Military School - we had no idea how the brothers would have looked in their uniform.

Thank you again to Mr. Peter Goble for putting us in contact with Mr. Michael Russell.

Michael Russell's family military history is similar to our families military history including two brothers who attended Royal Military Schools.

Michael Russell has a picture of his ancestor in the uniform of the Royal Hibernian Military School, Dublin, and has given us permission to show that picture here. Our thanks and appreciation to Mike Russell for allowing us to show you this picture. Click on the thumbnail picture to see a larger version.
