Remembering the service of my great great great uncle John McCluggage who died in 1890 at Glynn.
17347 John McCluggage.
Protestant.
Aged 20 on joining the Royal Irish Constabulary on 16 July 1853.
(Discharged 27 July 1853 - rejected by surgeon - this is struck out and 'still in the force' written in).
Previously a weaver.
Recommended by J. Wilford JP.
Assigned to County Louth. Promoted to 1st Sub Constable 1 February 1854; Reduced to 2nd Sub Constable 1 May 1857 for 12 months.
Looks like one favourable, three unfavourable reports (details no longer survive).
Pensioned 21 October 1883. Pension paid Belfast.
Died 2 November 1890.
Last payment to Margaret McFerren, his sister.
As regards stations he served in, he appears in the Petty Sessions registers as a Sub Constable in 1862 in Hackballscross; 1865 in Castletown; Bridge Street Dundalk in 1873.
His sister Margaret's marriage to Robert McFerran gives their father as John, a weaver.
