PaulC78 Posted 24 October , 2023 Share Posted 24 October , 2023 Tricky. I can only find Thomas Parslow 1650 Royal Irish Fusiliers and Patrick Darcy 1560 Royal Irish Fusiliers, but both men appear to have been discharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 24 October , 2023 Share Posted 24 October , 2023 This appears to be your man's brother, Lawrence Parslow: https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/179240/l-parslow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a (misindexed) pension card with both on. Problem is that the family are difficult to track, and George has little info on his death Laurence's marriage Gives father George, but we have his mother Kate as a claimant on pension card, rather than widow Marcella I cannot get Lawrence's birth, nor any of the family in census other than Lawrence in 1911 in Dublin which points to 1875 birth in Dun Laoghaire, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corisande Posted 24 October , 2023 Share Posted 24 October , 2023 Tom The nub of the problem is that George Parslow of the pension card does not exist anywhere , other than on this card I am sure that his brother is Lawrence and mother Kate Manning But I cannot find anything in BMD other than Laurence's marriage about the family, even Laurence's birth I cannot find Kate Parslow (she would have to have been a widow) marrying a Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC78 Posted 26 October , 2023 Share Posted 26 October , 2023 Hi Tom, do you have anything on this man? SWB roll says he was discharged on 12/06/1917 due to wounds, there is a service record but it's only a few pages and doesn't say much about his injuries. None of the pension cards appear to give a date of death and I can't find any obvious match on CWGC or in the Irish death certs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 26 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 26 October , 2023 Good man Paul, y'know I think we might be able to help each other here. I have a guy and could not find his military service and you have a lad and cannot find his date of death. He is my pitch. He could be this lad or not. I will have a look on the Leighlin memorial....

PaulC78 Posted 26 October , 2023 Share Posted 26 October , 2023 Cheers Tom. I don't think he's your man though, I had another look at the discharge papers and he was a younger man, aged 26 in 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 27 October , 2023 Share Posted 27 October , 2023 Tom and Paul We looked for this man three months ago-I have now found a family tree on ancestry for him-but no death date. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/164176037/person/432157295133/facts Birth 20 Jun 1891 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland 4 sources 18921 Death of brother Michael Fitzgerald(1889–1892) 2 Aug 1892 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland 18943 Birth of brother Edward Fitzgerald(1894–) 11 Oct 1894 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland 19009 Birth of brother James Fitzgerald(1900–) abt 1900 • Co, Carlow, Ireland 19019 Select fact Residence 31 March 1901 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland Relation to Head of House: Son 1 source 190614 Death of mother Bridget Costigan(1857–1906) 28 May 1906 • Carlow Workhouse, Carlow, Ireland 191119 Select fact Residence 2 April 1911 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland Relation to Head of House: Son 1 source 191524 Select fact Residence 1915 • 12 St Paul St, Off Blackhall Place Dublin Other Records: Self 1 source 193039 Death of father John Fitzgerald(1857–1930) 1930 • Leighlinbridge, Carlow, Ireland As per usual take nothing for granted-in some family trees errors are compounded by others!

museumtom Posted 27 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2023 Good morning George, on the ball as usual. Thank you for that. When I looked at his records it was marked that I looked at them before but could not for the life of me remember why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 27 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2023 I just thought you might be interested in this lad, served in WW1 and discharged in 1915, probably the oldest yet. Easy to research too!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
