Soren Posted 17 September , 2008 Share Posted 17 September , 2008 Hi Pal's Is there anyway I can find out where this chap came from? he survived the war. The Neary I'm looking for came from Dublin, he was a blacksmith by trade before the war, so I jumped on this one seeing he is a Shoeing Smith Medal card of Neary, Martin Corps: Army Service Corps Regiment No: R/20935 Rank: Shoeing Smith... 1914-1920WO 372/14 Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 17 September , 2008 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2008 I know he has a photo in which he is wearing stirrups so I think that this might be indicative of working with horses (photo to follow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 17 September , 2008 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2008 Any ideas with this one Pals? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMannus Posted 17 September , 2008 Share Posted 17 September , 2008 No Martin Neary in Dublin in 1911 - plenty of other Neary's - any relatives names? 1901 British census has a couple of hits but no blacksmiths only 'Brickies'- with any luck his pension record will pop up when Ancestry get around to it. ' How about posting the photo? (Duh - just noticed above post-sorry). Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
