PaulC78 Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April Can only find pension cards for this man. None of the DCs for 1919 match his details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Millar Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April Tom, Unfortunately I cannot find much on Patrick's military service, no Mic etc. Attached his death record in 1919 which you probably already have and also two possible death records for his wife Mary Power.

museumtom Posted 2 April Author Share Posted 2 April Thank you George, I agree with Paul, try as I might I could not find his DC either. I tried again and I still could not find it. You have the magic touch George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Millar Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April Tom, From Paul Nixon's Army Service Numbers site, Patrick might have enlisted into the Royal Irish Regiment between the 24th February 1909 (S/N° 9755) and the 3rd March 1910 (S/N° 10011), his service N° 9766 so in WW1 might have been called up but didn't serve overseas because of his age, hence no Mic etc. It's just a thought but needs confirming.

museumtom Posted 3 April Author Share Posted 3 April George found court cases for widow Bridget living at 19 Passage Road and non-attendance at school of sons Laurence and James between 1917 and 1919. I tried to nail them in the Census and birth certs but no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Millar Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Tom, What details have you got on him? Attached his death record if you haven't already got it. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 3 April Author Share Posted 3 April Thank you George, yes it is included in the info above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April No joy Tom, just two pension cards which I assume you have already seen. Note that both are marked as "pre-war". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Millar Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Tom, I don't know if this is correct or not but here goes: In the 1911 census of Ireland, there was a William & Kate Power living at N° 19 Passage Road in Waterford. They were listed as having been married 32 years (1879) and had 6 children, 3 still living in 1911. Their sons Thomas (aged 30) & John (aged 28) were living with them at this address. I looked for the birth record for Thomas to establish his parents and came up with the following: born 8 May 1879 in Graigrhonan, Waterford, Ireland to parents William Power & Catherine Butler (see attached). The family were living at N° 17 Passage Road, Waterford in the 1901 census. There are two other children listed in the 1901 census - Mollie (aged 15) & Patrick (aged 13). No mention of James! I looked at the marriage records for Catherine Butler married to someone with a surname Power and came up with four possible, all married in Waterford. I have eliminated two, a William Power married to Catherine Butler in 1865 & also a William Power married to Catherine Butler in 1906. There are tow possibles although they are listed as John Power married to Catherine Butler, one in 1875 & the other in 1879. Not sure which one would be the right one. However, I cannot be sure that this is James' family. Needs more researching to establish if it is the correct or not. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 3 April Author Share Posted 3 April Thank you Paul, I did not notice the -pre-war bit, silly me. George well done that man, thank you! Great research. He is so tantalizing and always just out of reach. Maybe he had an alias or enlisted under his brothers name, or lots of other possibilities. As Paul found he looks to have pre war service. Kind regards and thanks again lads, you do me proud. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Millar Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Tom, Just found a James Powers who served with the 9th Lancers with a Service N° 4568. He served in the Boer War with that number. There is a Pension Card for him but I don't have access to it to confirm it so I can't be sure if he is your man or not. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Unfortunately the card doesn't have much detail. A transcribed record on FMP says he was "Wounded Severely on 27/05/1901 at Ospoort". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 3 April Author Share Posted 3 April Thank you George, that was not an easy find, much appreciated. Thank you Paul, it all helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Millar Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Paul, His medal roll for his service in South Africa shows he was invalided back to England and as he didn't receive the 1902 Clasp this would seem to confirm your findings of him being severly wounded in 1901.

George Rayner Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April He was discharged with GSW to head if I recall correctly from this mornings search. Surely age would be an issue? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
