George Rayner Posted 8 April , 2020 Share Posted 8 April , 2020 I haven't followed through yet but McAULAY, George. Deck Hand, H.M.D. " Golden Harp " ; born at Hopeman, July 25th, 1881 ; joined, 26th Dec, 1914 ; served in Home Waters. Son of Hector and Annie McAulay, 15, Duff Street, Hopeman. Occupation, fisherman. McAULAY, it is on FMP in Morayshire Roll of Honour but that is the 'wrong' area of Scotland I am advised and DoB is also 'wrong' Whereas on Ancestry this chap appears more likely-note 'a' not 'e' at end of surname Name: George Mcaulay Age: 12 Estimated birth year: abt 1889 Relationship: Visitor Gender: Male Where born: Abernethy, Inverness Registration Number: 96B/1 Registration district: Duthil Civil Parish: Duthil County: Inverness Address: Skey Of Curr George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 8 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 April , 2020 (edited) I appreciate the info George, thank you, but the CWGC says that his parents are Son of Donald and Peggy MacAulay, of 7 Islivig Miavig, Stornoway, lewis; Husband of Catherine MacAulay, of Breanish, Islivig, Stornoway. It would be interesting if George was the correct name and a different lad altogether. Edited 8 April , 2020 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 8 April , 2020 Share Posted 8 April , 2020 Yes sorry Tom I should read more carefully. On Ancestry that George appears to be too old though! Off to garden but will return George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 9 April , 2020 Share Posted 9 April , 2020 Morning Tom, Hope the sun is shining there. There are many John Kelly's in the Ancestry Pension Records with a date of birth 1894+/-1. A couple from Irish regiments don't fit. Lots in the ASC. I'll have to look later as there's some outside work to be done I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 9 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 9 April , 2020 Fantastic Barry, y'know I was convinced you would not find him, it is such a common name. You deserve a medal for that find, amazing, thank you kindly. What a great morning this is turning out to be Dai! Barry nailed him, sorry. Now then who is next? I hope all is safe and well with yourselves and indeed all the pals here on the forum. Barry I don't have access to ancestry, may I please ask for the details from his record please? He is not in FMP. Does it say it was attrib or caused by service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 9 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 9 April , 2020 Reply- His service record still exists and says discharged with amputated leg due wounds in Gallipoli. No doubt died of TB but no evidence it was service attributable. No go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 9 April , 2020 Share Posted 9 April , 2020 Hi Tom, Yes he was one of the two I saw earlier. His pension record states he was discharged medically fit on 3/10/16 as a result of the amputation. No further entries. His pension card or was it the DC says TB for 6 months. Sadly doesn't qualify.

GJW Posted 9 April , 2020 Share Posted 9 April , 2020 12 hours ago, museumtom said: OK I found him, under 21930. Hi All, I know quite a bit about this man John Kelly as he is part of a project I am doing on soldiers from the village I am from. John Kelly is no: 21930. His brother Patrick is no: 21931. St Johns was in the workhouse district of Baltinglass but is actually in Castledermot. Castledermot workhouse district was split between Athy and Baltinglass hence the confusion sometimes. I have a FB page on the project (trying to drum up local interest) and wrote a small posting on these two brothers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1178662772305333/ Having said that, happy to share all I have on the Kelly brothers if anybody needs it.
