Researching my Ggrandfather I found that he was stationed for many years as a coast guard, Waterford Division,Fethard Station,Rocket Station. Could somebody help me were I could find information on this area. By his Naval Record he served in the area from about 1879 to 1885. |

Fethard is on the SE coast of Ireland The following URL will show a modern map of Ireland and if you click the "Historic 6" on the "Preview" panel - it will show a 1850's map of Fethard with the coast guard station indicated. http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,679248,604938,6 Thomas Havard could have been in the area a bit earlier as there is a Fethard birth record for a female to Thomas Havard and Anna Lee Scrivens Havard in 14 Apr 1877 Edited by bpa on 13/09/2010 13:14 |

Many thanks for your help, very much appreciated. I have got my dates a bit out, for Thomas did have two daughters born in Fethard, Alice Louise and Edith. To date I have not had much luck in tracing them while they were in Fethard. Regards Geoff  |

He may be unrelated but there was a Thomas Havard in Customs dept in Cork in 1843 See Page 56 Cork 2nd District http://books.google.ie/books?id=ttUHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA56&dq=thomas+havard+coastguard&hl=en&ei=xTqOTIeWLdG14Qbd2KHjCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false |
