janecavell Posted 22 June , 2010 Share Posted 22 June , 2010 Here they are in Shankill on the 1901 and 1911 census returns, in case you don't already have them: 1901 (at Murrys Terrace) 1911 (at Loughview Place, Crumlin Rd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Wright Posted 22 June , 2010 Author Share Posted 22 June , 2010 Thanks for all the information--I was already aware of his brother and that they were Shankill Rd men. I thought I would have found him on ancestry in Royal Naval Division caustlies--they usually give added "bits of information" .

per ardua per mare per terram Posted 22 June , 2010 Share Posted 22 June , 2010 Yes I realise that--but I have often obtained information on Royal Marine Light Infantry men in the Royal Naval Division records. Some, but not all, men from the Royal Marine Light Infantry served in the Royal Naval Division thousands served at sea, some in the air and others in other theatres. The RM medal rolls are online.
