I can's see a decent match amongst the 2990 odd buried in Ireland. No deaths at all on that date. Only 1 Stewart, only 1 Neil. No HMT Wayfarer Bit of a puzzle. IFCP?

museumtom Posted 28 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 28 March , 2019 Thank you and indeed it is Dai, I sent a query on it to Terry Denhem and await his reply. I have a lad doing a search on the Cemetery in Cobh within the next two weeks for him and William Campbell from the 'Arabic.' So fingers crossed there might be a new headstone, or even two there sometime! Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 29 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 29 March , 2019 Brilliant hit George!, I would never have found him. He is not in FMP nor can I find an MIC for him. I do not have access to Ancestry, could you give me a small piece from his sheet please? Sorry for being cheeky. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss002d6252 Posted 29 March , 2019 Share Posted 29 March , 2019 The service number should be #10762 rather than #20762 (ancestry indexing). The are papers on FMP but these only cover his pre-war service and discharge for being under-age https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM/WO363-4/007271726/00107&parentid=GBM/WO363-4/7271726/10/107 Craig.

Most survived. It was an armed merchant ship That's a curious co-incidence isn't it? The ship was sunk on the same day as he became ill with meningitis, with him in Cobh, and the ship in Avonmouth. I wonder when they parted company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 29 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 29 March , 2019 Great stuff, that is fantastic, thank you Craig. I might even call in to the house in Stradavoher to see if the family is still there. Thank you Craig. Kind regards. Tom. Its an odd one, sure enough Dai.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 29 March , 2019 Share Posted 29 March , 2019 (edited) An Augustine Flanagan is referenced in the Pension record of a brother , John Flanagan, 616255, (??Leinster Regt) joined at Cork January 1915, age 43, Veteran of SA War. Papers from 1889 and 1914. Father -James, mother Johanna, siblings -James, Phillip, Patrick & Augustine. Is this the same family? Link If Augustine died in November 1915 of Phthisis Pulmonalis (Pulmonary TB) of 2 years duration, then he probably would not have been passed fit for service after 4/8/1914. No MIC in his name.

museumtom Posted 29 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 29 March , 2019 How you found him in his brothers files is beyond me, I would never have found him that way. I have to agree if he had TB fr two years he would not have served. I should have noticed that. Thank you for all your help Dai, you make this look easy. Kind regards and thanks again Dai! Tom.

Mark1959 Posted 29 March , 2019 Share Posted 29 March , 2019 (edited) Do you think this is Flanagan? Wife's name is a problem but Birr. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/King_s_Co_/Birr_Rural/Barrack_St_/550978/ There is a baptism record for an Augustinus. 16/8/1872, Loghglynn, Roscommon. Baptised following day. Roman Catholic. Edited 29 March , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
