George Rayner Posted 16 May , 2019 Share Posted 16 May , 2019 You are quite right Dai-just medically unfit etc. Clutching at straws really! All answers possible until disproved perhaps? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 16 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 16 May , 2019 Nice one George, a great image, the vital page that links the DC to the man is the hardest one to find. If we can find that we are away in a hack! Keep up the good work! Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 16 May , 2019 Share Posted 16 May , 2019 I will give up with O'Keeffe-probably! But first can anybody link Patrick O'Keeffe of 20 Lower Castle Street Tralee ( 10.12.14) with Eliza(beth) Fahey of 27 Upper Castle Street Tralee (NoK for P O'K) or indeed Patrick O'Keeffe with 27, Upper Castle Street? Because I'm convinced they are the couple mentioned in the papers forwarded. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 16 May , 2019 Share Posted 16 May , 2019 5 hours ago, museumtom said: Much as i hate to mess up your day but I am hoping you can help with this Middle Ring, Clonakilty, County Cork sailor. I know how difficult these navy men are. He would be a classic contender if we can find his record. Can you help please? Kind regards. Tom. To follow up the other researches on this man: the Medal Roll for RN Ratings shows that nearly every man called Michael O'NEILL (seven of them) who qualified for WW1 medals had claimed his medals in person after the war (in 1920/21). The one exception was the deserter previously identified who forfeited his medals. None of these RN ratings could have died in April 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
