George Rayner Posted 21 April , 2019 Share Posted 21 April , 2019 I can't find him anywhere else. Says father George, not long enough service to qualify for gratuity. 25th Reserve Battalion RFA George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 21 April , 2019 Share Posted 21 April , 2019 The war gratuity does tells us that JJ Atkinson had never served outside the UK and had less than 6 months service at the time of his death. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 21 April , 2019 Share Posted 21 April , 2019 Looking around #159400 seems to bring up quite a few Lancashire men, so it's a possibility to consider. #159391 - Lancashire #159394 - Lancashire #159402 - Lancashire #159414 - Lancashire #159415 - Lancashire #159416 - Lancashire #159418 - Lancashire Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 21 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 21 April , 2019 That is unbelieveable!! Is there a link to any of his info please lads? I am sure he would qualify to go forward. I have no idea how you found him but that is fantastic, thank you very much indeed, I though there was not enough to nail him down, but that didn't stop ye, well done and thank you very much. Kind regards. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 21 April , 2019 Share Posted 21 April , 2019 Just a reminder to all who don't have an Ancestry sub, that access to Ancestry is free this Easter weekend. (Not sure if that is just UK or the rest of the world (including Ireland). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 22 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Thank you George, Craig, and Dai, if anyone could post a link to the effects register I would very very grateful. Thank you all very much in advance. Kind regards. Tom. Would you also please have a look for this soldier, who died of T.B. so he may be a contender for IFCP. He is unfindable on FMP, perhaps the answer lies elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 22 April , 2019 Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Morning Tom, On its way. The witness to Atkinson's death seems to have been a notable soldier. BQMMS G A Dubery. He was between Egypt and Western front apparently when he was in position to act as witness to the death of JJ Atkinson. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 22 April , 2019 Share Posted 22 April , 2019 This is his death registration on Ancestry-note 1917 not 1916 as it obviously took a few days to get done.

George Rayner Posted 22 April , 2019 Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Quote Tom Do you have access to Belmullet Workhouse records? That may give an ID on Peter Barrett as an ex-soldier. And 100 year rule shouldn't apply I can't get at it at the moment. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little bob Posted 22 April , 2019 Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Ancestry has just two pages of record for 3/10383 Patrick Nagle, Royal Irish Regiment aged 22 from Bansha, Co. Tipperary.

George Rayner Posted 22 April , 2019 Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Ancestry has his attestation papers. Looks like father Patrick was his witness, step brother next of kin and after Feb discharged.

museumtom Posted 22 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 22 April , 2019 Unbelievable lads, great finds, thank you very much. Can you post a ling to the Ancestry file please? I cannot access it but Terry can. If the medical sheet is in there and it shows he was discharged with something caused by or aggravated by service he will qualify. He is really too young not to have died from something like that. I could not find him at all on FMP but you managed it. I am most grateful for all your help. he would not have been found otherwise. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
