Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 9 April , 2019 Share Posted 9 April , 2019 I cant see a southern George Shane in the 1911 Census, but there's one in Antrim. George Lindores Shore is in Dublin though... http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchMoreVisible=false&census_year=1911&surname=shore&firstname=george&county19011911=&county1821=&county1831=&county1841=&county1851=&parish=&ward=&barony=&townland=&houseNumber=&ded=&age=34&sex=M&search=Search&ageInMonths=&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&yearsMarried=&birthplace=&nativeCountry=&language=&deafdumb=&causeOfDeath=&yearOfDeath=&familiesNumber=&malesNumber=&femalesNumber=&maleServNumber=&femaleServNumber=&estChurchNumber=&romanCatNumber=&presbNumber=&protNumber=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving= " Occupation : Cashier Export Bottling " (Had an 'alcoholism' event in his Pension Records). 6 minutes ago, George Rayner said: If its RAMC what is the word above it?

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 9 April , 2019 Share Posted 9 April , 2019 Edit: George SHANE death record quoted above... If you open it on Irish Genealogy George "Shane" you can look at the source image... which is what Tom has posted. So, the Irish Indexers have read it as 'Shane'. Do we agree with them?

George Rayner Posted 9 April , 2019 Share Posted 9 April , 2019 (edited) Comparing the 'n' in compounder with surname it looks very similar-but it's dreadful script! ...but then the 'r' on the end is exact! ...letter 'o' in George is not same as 3rd letter in surname-joiners in different places George Edited 9 April , 2019 by George Rayner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 9 April , 2019 Share Posted 9 April , 2019 I think the writer has made a mistake in writing the surname and initially whote Sha*e. He then tried to correct the 'a' into an 'o' by going over it and round a couple of times. It looks bolder than the other letters. And then he spilt some ink on the '37'.

museumtom Posted 9 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 9 April , 2019 Dai and George, Its all very mysterious lads, thank you very much for your suggestions. I really do appreciate it.George if you followed through with your death registration it would lead you to the image I posted. Its one thing I often wondered are these death certs I post only accessible by people in Ireland? I have to admit I never heard of a compounder before, Thanks again for all the help lads. Great work!

George Rayner Posted 10 April , 2019 Share Posted 10 April , 2019 Morning If researching on Ancestry and an Irish hit comes up it can sometimes be traced through a link to the Irish site-usually always for census returns not always for others-at least for me. I do find your soldiers a challenge and know I go off on tangents at times but the real experts usually get you there! Off to Northern France for four days so will be offline till Sunday Best of luck in the meantime George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 10 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2019 Thanks George, please feel free to go off on a tangent anytime that suits, later thinking often finds vital clues not found by looking for the obvious. Enjoy Northern France. It was always something I would like to have done but would not as I would be afraid, afraid I would want to stay there!! The pals on this forum, including your good self of course, have found the unfindable, and without their empathy, goodwill and willingness to help, there would certainly have been Irishmen from the 26 counties that would remain forgotten. I am always mindful and thankful for this selfless help. Enjoy France and thanks again. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 10 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2019 I tried to find this guy on FMP, without success, the writing is woeful altogether and disappearing. Can you help please?

museumtom Posted 10 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2019 Just keeping you all up to date. 1914, and 1915, death certs have now been processed. 5 accepted by I.F.T.C.P., 51 new names added to my own databases and 280 causes of death added to the files. So 1916 is now next. In them will be not only the soldiers and Nurses etc, but also the rebels and civilians killed during the Rebelion. I have saved those certificates just to have for maybe a later project. Now then lets go. Thank you all!! Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPT Posted 10 April , 2019 Share Posted 10 April , 2019 Hi Tom, The address matches with S 6687 Thomas McHugh.
