Sorry George I had to leave for Kildare and posted a man I was looking for and immediately found him. I apologise for your frustration, and assure it will not happen again.

 Kind regards.

Thanks Craig, it does not give that info in FMP, which is very welcome. Not a sniff about Bray in there are all.

Here is FMP's offering.

Kind regards.

There's no Joseph Vance in Liverpool in 1911 but there is one in Wicklow.

 

The Irish man is 38 in 1911 so I think there's been a mix-up between the two men at some point.

But there is one in Bolton, born abt.1890 Co.Mayo !?!?!?

Been missing as wife's birthday celebration with family. Looks like familiar old circles though-but well done for tenacity everyone

Yes indeed very mysterious, in the interest of precision I think I will go with the records. If I could source the missing sheet on Ancestry that shows his birth in Bray I would go with that, even just the information in it. can you help please?

Kind regards.

Tom.

Excellent, Thank you very much indeed George. That concludes this lad. Now then who's next?

A William Vance married an Elizabeth Kinsella, West Derby, Liverpool 1883.

William Vance (Junior) born 1884 in Liverpool. He appears with a Vance family in Liverpool in 1891 aged 7 as a visitor. A James Kinsella, a brother-in-law is there as well. The family is not the older William’s.  This William dies whilst in the RDF in Lincoln on 13/7/16.

I could continue and try to sort out the mess but as you have called time  no reason to. I think the records are very confused but there is a clear link between Bray and Liverpool.

Brilliant find Mark. I do see the link. II did have William but did not think to connect him to Joseph, they had the same parents. Thank you very much for that.

I am hoping to finish 1918 today sometime and then are on toe 1919. I am optimistic about 1919 and hope to find more unrecorded deaths that would qualify. The same with 1920 and 1921.

Kindest regards.

 Tom.

Thank you very much indeed George, with your help I was able to find him in FMP, why could I not do that in the first place. FMP search let us down I reckon.

Thanks again for all your help George!
