Tom,

Just to complete the picture, I think this is possibly the death record for Michael's wife Margaret who died on the 19th December 1930 aged 57 years old (address given at Fitzwilliam Road, Wicklow).

Interesting they both died of the same thing. (Oops that was a 95th Regiment soldier I was looking at. Veteran of Alma, Inkerman and Sebastopol-and Indian mutiny

P. HOGAN, 14651, Irish Guards - Died 21 January 1920, buried CATERHAM AND WARLINGHAM (CATERHAM) BURIAL GROUND

Possibly: 

Free BMD have a death registration [Godstone is not far away from Caterham]

Deaths Mar 1920   (>99%)
HOGAN  Peter  22  Godstone  2a  281

Thats giving you a birth of c.1898

Ah, now working for me too.

That seems to confirm the forename Peter ... See death registration above.

On the ball Matlock, thank you. We were trying to find where he was from.

Hardly a massive breakthrough but to me a birth 1898 would seem to rule out the 18 year old resident of a house 78 in Moategranoge (Moate, Westmeath) in 1901

There seem to be two 1898 births of a Peter HOGAN in Ireland - one of which might be a transcription error [HAGAN??}

I will leave to you and your Irish experience to check those.

Good morning Matlock, thank you. The Census was just a guess. I am still in the dark and looking for clues.

Evening all. a bit of a mystery here, this lad died in 1920 and buried in 1920 but discharged in 1916? I can find no age, or N.O.K for him, can you help please? James Naughton, 5083, R.I. Regiment.

 Have I even the right soldier?

The service record belongs to the man on CWGC, and gives his father's name as Patrick. He was age 19 on enlistment in 1894, which means he was born around 1875.

He was age 46 when he died. The DC is available from ScotlandsPeople and would give you the names of both parents.

If I have the right DC it doesn't give parents names.

Mike

Dies of TB 10/12/1920, that the right date?

Standard info for a Scottish DC, but perhaps the names of his parents were not known by the person who registered his death?

1911 Census for 4 Barrack Hill has Ellen Naughton (widow, age 71) living with her daughter's family. Presumably this is his mother?

Thank you Paul and Skipman, this is coming together nicely, much appreciated. May I assume Barrack Hill is in Tipperary?

Date of death is 10/12/1920 in the C.W.G.C.

4 Barrack Hill, Limerick, from your image above.

EDIT: Pension card gives his disability as Pulm TB, though it was not due to or aggravated by service.

Bear with me Paul. If we assume Mary Naughton, widow is his mother living at 4 Barrack Hill, and her daughter Mary married a Scanlon-

Mary gives her fathers name as Michael, not Patrick. So Ellen Naughton may not be his mother....unless we find his birth cert...hhhmmmm... let me see if we can.

Nope no James Naughton born 1874-1877 with fathers name Michael or Patrick.

Anyhoo guys and gals I am delighted with what you found for which I am most grateful, thank you both.

Tom,

Here's a James Naughton born on the 14th March 1875 in what looks like Carey's Road in Limerick, father listed as Patrick Naughton & mother Margaret Buick ??. not saying this is your man but have a look anyway.

Tom,

Forget my last comment. Just seen his Service record which lists his place of birth as Tipperary and not Limerick. Should go and get my eyes tested again.
