George Rayner Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 What is his address? I read 12 Mahony Place-is that 'right' and which city? And where is St. Patrick's sited please? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 23 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2019 Sorry George, I should have said, it is Cork City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 (edited) I can find his birth Sept 1890, and death November 1917 but very little else. Some very interesting George Connells-in both Munster and Northumberland Fusiliers but not your man. Hope the others are being more successful!!

ss002d6252 Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 Can't see Connell in the soliders' effects, wills or SWB at present. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 23 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2019 Thanks for trying lads, it really was worth shot. It will have to be stored under unfindable. I will try and get an easier one for next time. Thanks again for all your help. Kindest regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 I have been further pursuing William Healy. I haven't found anything beyond above but have reported missing images-pages 3/4 of discharge notice. Now they may not be there at all but you never know George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 23 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2019 OK guys and gals, a medical question if I may please. If a soldier was discharged with Epilipsy and dies after from heart failure, does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 My impression with James Burke is we have not conclusively identified him. The informant is sister maybe the Elizabeth Burke birth registered in Gorey. This lady appears to marry Nicholas Murphy. Registered Gorey 1905. Not confirmed. can someone definitely we have identified him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 23 April , 2019 Share Posted 23 April , 2019 I have two family members with epilepsy. Logic dictates that there is no direct link with cardiac problems. However, I am not a medical man, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
