museumtom Posted 12 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 12 May , 2019 A great find, thank you Mark, well done! If we could find his records or the vital sheet we would be well on the way to having him added. Thanks again Mark. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 12 May , 2019 Share Posted 12 May , 2019 (edited) Cannot find a CWGC record for him at the moment. There is a WFA Pension Card but adds nothing useful. Widow Lucy. On the cards and effects register. War Gratuity shown as Not Admissable. Need the expert on that. Edited 12 May , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bit of a Google I see that Castlehaven, is a townland in the parish of Castletownsend near Skibbereen, so that lines up the arrows, we can now proceed. Thanks again for all your help.

charlie962 Posted 12 May , 2019 Share Posted 12 May , 2019 Just going back to Sgt James Hickey (post 1552). The RIC Pension Records suggest he was still drawing a pension in June 1922 so this confirms he would not be one of yours ? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 12 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 12 May , 2019 Thank you Charlie, I had to pass on Hickey, so that was a wise move. Your info is good but I need something that ties it all together please, if possible or otherwise I must pass him by also. Thank you for all your digging, very much appreciated. Kind regards. Tom.
