My elderly next door neighbour has told me he would love to know more about his grandfather's time in the military, I will ask him what he knows already today.
So, looking for further information on James born 1869 - here on BCC - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ahy-Family

He's almost sure that going back, the Mulcahy family relate to Ronald Reagan somehow
