ss002d6252 Posted 7 April , 2020 Share Posted 7 April , 2020 In respect of Kelly I'm curious why his address is given as Netley when the death occurred and was reported at Portrane asylum. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 7 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2020 (edited) Thank you for trying George, he is particularly difficult with such a common name. Craig-I reckon he was sent from Netley Hospital to the Asylum. Edited 7 April , 2020 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 7 April , 2020 Share Posted 7 April , 2020 Just now, museumtom said: I reckon he was sent from Netley Hospital to the Asylum. I would guess that as well, him being repatriated to Ireland, but it just seems odd that they would use his old address as the correspondence address. If only the person making the entry had been more thoughtful to the future researcher ! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 7 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2020 Yes Craig, very inconsiderate of them, but that's all we have to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 7 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2020 (edited) If I had to guess I would guess R.D.F., and he more than likely had a S.W.B. being discharged 1915 or 1916. This gives us 7 possibles. https://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/results?sid=100&firstname=patrick&lastname=kelly&keywords=royal+dublin+fusiliers&keywordsplace_proximity=5&datasetname=silver+war+badge+roll+1914-1920&sourcecountry=great+britain Edited 7 April , 2020 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 7 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2020 (edited) Nope not him, he signed for his S.W.B. in Feb 1917. So much for that theory... Edited 7 April , 2020 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Atkins Posted 7 April , 2020 Share Posted 7 April , 2020 New to this, Tom, so forgive me if I'm missing something... Could he be19396 Pte Edward Grogan, 9/RDF, discharged with SWB no 94517 ("wounds") 13/10/1916? Enlisted 07/03/1915. He has pension records on Ancestry giving his address on enlistment as Darcystown, his age as 19 years 3 months. Wounded in action 29.04.16, GSW (head). Discharged with "total incapacity" (can't read the writing for the medical diagnosis). Cheers, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 7 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2020 Fantastic Pat, thank you very much, I was hoping against hope that I did not have to pass him by. Wonderful that you information nails it. I have sent it to Terry already and await results which I hope will be positive. Thanks again for a great bit of research. Kind regards. Tom.

George Rayner Posted 8 April , 2020 Share Posted 8 April , 2020 Well done I couldn't find that reference. We are looking for one of those then that sank off the Irish coast in the days before 16th March 1918. I don't suppose you have access to the Inquest report do you Tom?

museumtom Posted 8 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 April , 2020 I reckon that the DC does not show the date of death as the inquest was held on the 15th, one day before the date of 16/03/1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
