Humbug! and I had just got him!

 

Well done on Kinsella Craig.

I claim the address was wrong and put me off!!

 

George

You snooze... ;)

Kearns was a bit of a pain on ANcestry as the ssurname has a full stop at the end of the name - means it doesn't show in the search by surname (I've put through a correction but how many more are there ?) .

I have found on other databases that some entries have a space either start or end of word which doesn't help either.

George found this.

Using Folder3 that gives the beginning of the pension three days after his death and his wifes first name Alice we get this.

What is needed is some record that ties it all together. Can you help please?

Gives DoD as 25/6/21. Right cause of death. Right widow. Right address. 7086.

This card shows discharged 16/4/1919. Attributable Malaria and ??? Caries. Maybe Potts caries or TB of spine. This matches the other card that says died from tuber of spine and asthma..

So may have a chance.

Brilliant Mark thank you very much for that, the second card is certainly a great help. Only an MIC on FMP.

Kind regards.

Wet morning all! I sincerely hope you are surviving the ark-like deluge that is visiting outside.

Can you help with this lad please? He died from Diabetes Mellitus so he may qualify by myself and George cannot nail down the critical page to allow him to go forward. Can you help please?

noworries- gives a age at least- I find a few William's born in 1895 in the civil regs. only a couple in Dublin- but of course he was not necessarily from there- haven't found a marriage in ireland. there are a few hits on ancestry for pension- but is that what you have posted from?

McCormack

His medal card has the 24 Railway Street address on the reverse. BW & VM applied for in 1923.

Medal roll says discharged 30/9//19.

To France 14/8/14.

FWR has a few transcribed records

43157 24/4/18 - War Office List - wounded - R Inn Fus. NoK address - Cork

43157 7/8 R InnFus B Company, 21/10/18 - 31 Ambulance train Remy to Terlincthun. Syphilis.

10608 25/11/14 - War Office wounded list, Connaughts

The 21/10/18 Med record is here on FMP

There is also this on FMP - rather confusing as has CR number and 7/8 RInnFus as unit

Excellent thank you Mark, another great piece of research.

Meg, I do not know where he was born, sorry. 

 Kind regards.

Myself and George have been flummoxed with this apparently obvious listing of a man under two versions of his name. The DOD is the same, death location the same, slight difference in the age but is it the same man? Two listings for burial.

Perhaps this is he, or is there another?

Has a good look. It is the same man for the 2 certificates in my opinion.

Thank you Mark. It is a strange one to be sure.

Good afternoon Tom.

It sure looks like the same man, possibly reported to the coroner twice, although you can't tell.

I first thought it might have been the 'Weekend Effect' , with someone reporting again on a Monday what had already been unknowingly done on the Friday.

 

The paper says the man died 'last Friday night'.

I'm sure you well remember Tom, that October 27th 1914 was a Tuesday, and the 29th a Thursday...:thumbsup:

This one has us stumped. but we are beaten. John Henry Gibson, The Deanery, Ferns, County Wexford. Died at 67 Lower Leeson Street, which seemd to have been a hospital of a lodging form nurses and medical types. If he lived at the Deanery perhaps he has a connection with the Church?

 Can you help please?

Thomas Brownell Gibson was the dean of Ferns at the time, although he apparently had three daughters -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Gibson_(priest)

Thank you Margaret and IPT. The marriage cert was a nice find but he died in 1916. The Dean could be his cousin though.  IPT the Census looks really good. I will see if I can find his birth cert and that might answer a few questions.

Thanks you both, I am very thankful for your help. I just found his birth cert so we are on the right track.
