All we know of my Great Grandfather, Richard Joyce is that he came from Tuam and worked as an assistant horse groom on the Dalgin Milbrook Estate. Attached is a copy of his letter of reference dated May 1872. While I realize this is not a genealogy site, as family historian, I am still searching for his family in Ireland.

Bearer Richard Joice I have know from his childhood. He has been also for a long time in my employment as assistant groom and I have no hesitation in stating that a better competent young man could not be had in every respect.
