Bardess Posted 20 December , 2017 Share Posted 20 December , 2017 (edited) Hi Tom I actually put George's name forward when checking for IFCP back in 2009 so I suggest you PM Terry Denham for an update as there is an SER entry on Ancestry Edited 20 December , 2017 by Bardess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 20 December , 2017 Author Share Posted 20 December , 2017 Thank you Diane, I am glad that I am not going mad after all!. I will pop off an email to IFCP. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 12 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2018 (edited) I thought I was finished with this, but I am now going through the death certs for Ireland and the first three that popped up are these and I cannot find them. I know in my heart of hearts that you guys love a mystery so here they are for what they are worth. They are from an army camp in Newtownards, County Down. Thank you for all your help so far, please God we might find enough to add them to IFCP and they will receive proper recognition after all these years. For your reference, here is one of the lads from the Camp that has a grave. There may be a clue there someplace or something. Kind regards.

museumtom Posted 12 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2018 Brilliant. Well done lads, I knew it would not take a peep out of you. I am still a bit wary going through the death certs, initial findings show they might throw up an awful lot of new names, somewhat the same as the Soldiers Effects are. I am waiting to be connected to unlimited broadband and when that happens I expect to be snowed under as they reveal missing lads. Thanks again for all your help, it God's great scheme of things you lot are totally unbeatable. Kindest regards and thanks again. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 12 July , 2018 Share Posted 12 July , 2018 (edited) Don't get too excited about Omer's 1902 enlistment. Only in Royal Scots for 10 days and then chucked out due to "mis-statement of age". Edited 12 July , 2018 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 12 July , 2018 Share Posted 12 July , 2018 I won't. So that's Murray, McRae, Conroy and, (probably), Milloy sorted. We'll just have to wait for Tom's internet connection now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 12 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2018 Thanks again lads. sadly I am waiting for the new broadband system which will be in the next two weeks and I am heading for W&Peace revival next week in Kent so all is up ion the air. I have to admit, with the support of this forum we should be able to find a lot of new lads for IFCP. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
