Can anyone help me please as I am trying to find out more about my Great Great Grand father, Patrick McKenna.

This is what I have found out so far.........

1859 He signed up in Newry Armagh North Ireland - Left Ireland for India and joined the Royal Horse Artillery

1873 married Anne Elizabeth Byrne in Madras India.
St Thomas Mount, Madras India Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M00064-2 System Origin: India-EASy Source Film Number: 521855 Reference Number:

Their children were all born in India.
Alice - 1873-1928
Felix 1875-1876
Thomas 1877-1900
Lawrence 1879 - ?
Mary - 1881 ?
Winnifred 1882 - 1973

In 1886 he joined the Indian Army in Burma as a Warrant Officer (Conductor). His wife died in 1906 in Madras and was listed as a pensioner, so it is assumed that Patrick had pre-deceased her.
Does anyone know where or when he died?
It is believed his father was called John McKenna.

Many thanks
Carol
