That looks great George, but can you show that it is the same lad? 'Particulars furnished: Cork, 02/10/1919.' what does this mean please? I know most of the lads in Irish Regiments were discharged at Cork. If you can find him in folder3 that might tie it all together I reckon. I had a look on FMP and all they have is the SWB and the MIC.

 Thank you for your help George.

 Kind regards.

 Tom.

Chaps. I have a potential for Roche. There is an RMF chap 4/5736. 3 WFA cards. Now they give an address of 20 Paul’s Avenue, Cork but this may be his mother’s. She is just referred to as Mrs. Roche. None give a date of death but 2 have a note that imply he died sometime not too long before mid-April 1921. 
This is  fmp’s indication of this man’s SWB.

Put forward to see if someone can prove or disprove the case.

5 Michael Roches died in 1921, 4 of them were 70 years of age. The other lad is our man.I think we are on the right track.

Thanks George, Good morning. I like where this is going. Keep up the good work.

If it is him he appears to have had pneumonia which was not attributable to service-but caught in Hull! From Service record so reckon you have it on FMP Tom?

What regiment might R.G. be?

Sorry George, I was not sure if it was him or not. I dont remember pneumonia in the docs in FMP. I would reckon his unit in the dc is the Royal Engineers?

Kind regards.

From what I can see 23840 was DLI and LC.

 

Are we sure it's the same man - 23840 was discharged Class Z to an address in Hull.

Thanks Craig. I am guessing, there are so few records for a Victor Vine of the same age I tried a bit of lateral thinking. I have no clue other than the death cert says RE.

 Kind regards.

Well I think he is unfindable. Not a common name-but we should have enough clues to track him down but no! Well hidden under the Bl***** Stone I fear.

 

Not certain it's Engineers-looks like  a G. But what could R.G. be?

Its a mystery George a mystery to be sure. I saved him with the Irishmen just the same. Perhaps sometime in the future someone will figure it out.

Thanks for all the help but I think it is time to move on to the next mystery.

 Thanks again for all the help.

 Kind regards.

Evening Tom

Can you find the coroner's report for 22.8.1921-that may tell us. Cork County, John ?
