museumtom Posted 1 August , 2022 Author Share Posted 1 August , 2022 Ok guys and gals, we have spent half a day without success on this lad. Address is Irishtown, Athlone, County Westmeath. John Morris, it may be that he was discharged around 1917 going by his illness duration. Every combination of Census, records etc have not helped. Can you help please? Possibly but nothing definite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 1 August , 2022 Share Posted 1 August , 2022 This may be the relevant Duffy family in 1911 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Arran_Quay/Arbour_Place/52848/ Arbour Place is about 400m from North Brunswick St in Dublin. There is a father Patrick and a brother James. Address, father and witness from marriage certificate. Not sure where it gets us. Probably nowhere, but just in case it provides a clue to link the two docs together. I cannot seem to find a pension claim from a Margaret Morris that appears relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 23 August , 2022 Author Share Posted 23 August , 2022 A bit of a mystery here lads and lassies.

museumtom Posted 29 August , 2022 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2022 I was asked by a buddy to look up his ancestor, Michael Connor, he said he was in the R.D.F. during WW1, but try as I might I cannot find anything for him during the war. Can you help please? Address can be Monkstown Farm, or Monkstown Avenue, Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire) County Dublin. I can find his pre war service but not his WW1 service. Michael married Elizabeth (Lizzie)Barry, at St Patrick's Church, Monkstown, on 05/10/1910. They are listed in the 1911 Census at Monkstown Farm, with their daughter Teresa. Children-John (Michael is listed as a soldier on John's birth cert) was born at 2 Mary's Cottages, Monkstown Avenue on 29/07/1916, Michael, born 06/04/1914 at Monkstown farm, William Michael, born 22/11/1912 at Monkstown farm, Samuel, born at 2 Mary's Cottages, on 13/07/1920, and Mary Elizabeth (under O'Connor), born 2 Mary's Cottages, on 10/03/1919. Can you help find his WW1 service please? https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM%2FWO96%2F1224%2F119%2F001&parentid=GBM%2FWO96%2F1224%2F1602079 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Kingstown_No__3/Monkstown_Farm/92913/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 1 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 1 September , 2022 (edited) Good morning all. May I please have your help with this one. He is teetering on being accepted but not at the finish line just yet. Can you help please? Folder3 was helpful but what is really needed is his records to bridge the gap between the time he was discharged in 1915 and when he died in 1921. Edwards John Lance Corporal King's Royal Rifle Corps 4 Morton Villas, Dunbar Street, Cork, and later (1921) 2 Morton Villas 16/07/1921 Died after discharge at Morton Villas, Needham Place, Cork, from Nephritis 2 months at least certified. Discharged 30/09/1915 being no longer physically fit for war service-Nephritis due to war service. Serial No: 4731 Unit: 2nd Battalion Age: 34 Born: Cork, in 1884 He was put forward to the I.F.CVP. this morning and is on hold. Terry says-'We would need more evidence for this one. His service record would be needed. Look at the five year gap between discharge and the DC statement of ‘at least two months’. Why was he discharged? Was it due to nephritis?'
