museumtom Posted 1 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 1 October , 2019 It has been made so thanks to the help of everyone here lads and lassies. I always said it, and am privileged to work with ye. It was never ever possible without you all. Foley is a strange one, but I will remember him with the Irish lads one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 1 October , 2019 Share Posted 1 October , 2019 Think I have had enough. Tried tracing his wife who died between 1901 and 1911, Possibly died 1906 but could be another Julia altogether. Daughter, also Julia, born c1889 leads nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 2 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 2 October , 2019 Mark, this sounds mad, but when I posted your link in the email I could see the image. If I post the link in the address bar it asks me to join ancestry. Mad as a brush eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 2 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 2 October , 2019 Another if I may please lads and lassies. I cannot find him. Can you help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 2 October , 2019 Share Posted 2 October , 2019 (edited) This chap may be a possible. Trying to confirm https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM%2FADM29%2F11562%2F00263&parentid=GBM%2FGREP%2FADM29%2F00132191 edit There is a family tree on ancestry. Indicates he was born 26/4/1868 in Aghada.This does not match the dob on the record of 15/6/1867 A Charles Walsh of Aghada was on HMS Duke of Wellington on the 1901 census (Portsmouth?) and on HMS Swiftsure (in the Med) in 1911, 472 above link was on these ship at the correct time as can be seen on the record So looks likely he is the man and was pensioned off as insane in 1912. This appears to be a memorial to him in Aghada - towards the bottom died 3.16 aged 48 Courtesy Public Family Tree, Ancestry Edited 2 October , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 2 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 2 October , 2019 (edited) Great stuff Mark, that is brilliant, 1868 sounds just perfect. Thank you very much indeed. Sadly, he was discharged before the war, dang it anyway. Thanks again for the help Mark. Edited 2 October , 2019 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 3 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 3 October , 2019 Sorry lads and lassies, I posted one lad Trimby but found him straight away listed under T instead of H T Trimby, so I deleted it. In case you are wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 10 October , 2019 Share Posted 10 October , 2019 Morning Tom Nothing turning up I'm afraid. Checked google for 'donkey man' and it says responsibilities in the engine room so possibly stoker? That turns up two...who were still alive in 1916.
