John cope land Queens County, Ireland.

Have tried other sites. Maybe looking at the wrong one.

I believe that when one joined the RIC all family information was written.

This is what I am seeking. Spouse and children, whether he is the father of my grandfather Robert Cope land who was also in RIC, joined in 1868.

Looks like he joined in Laois county and retired in Limerick

John Copeland RIC #19319 was born in 1836 as he joined the RIC aged 18 in 1854 so he won't be Robert Copeland's father.
