Thank you Craig, y'know I looked at this John and it says his father is John, The marriage cert says his father was Christopher and Plymouth address. Just saying.

Kind regards.

 Tom.

When you look at the pension card for #5419 I'm certain it's him. It shows,

 

Died 5/4/1917 - wife Norah of Glen Rd, Monkstown. She was born 12/12/1895 so 24 in 1919 (we know Norah died, aged 24)

 

Son show as Andrew John, born 11/1/1916 - matches the birth record above.

That is good enough for me Craig, thank you for that. On my fathers marriage certificate, in the fathers box, is his brother, not his father. The Plymouth address must have been where John was stationed at the time of marriage or Christophers address.

 Thanks again Craig, top man.

 Kind regards.

 Tom.

Hello everyone. I hope you are all staying safe in these strange times.

May I please ask if you can find this mans number for me. Myself and George have not found it. We know he was in the Royal Engineers and served at home, which does not help. The O'Reilly family use Reilly also so that does not make it easier. Can you help please?

She says he got a pension and discharged

Here is his sister and mother in the 1901 Census.

Well done Mark. He has been driving me demented!

Interestingly he has SWB which says served overseas despite sister's witness statement saying only in England!

Been working pretty full time on the home town project to put the correct towns in the fold3 index on the wfa cards for the dead. My team has been given a lot of  the Mc and Macs - so getting more familiar with Scottish and Irish geography. The whole project has entered about 80000 amendments so far

80,000? Sure no wonder we hardly see you. Well done, its a job that has to be done, and done right for the heroes themselves and for future researchers.

Kind regards.

Died 'after discharge' - nothing obvious to link the death to service.
