There is a family tree on ancestry with a pic. Gives following detail

Jeremiah Jerome Jehr Collins

1894–1919

BIRTH 13 AUG 1894 • Barrack Hill, Clonakilty, Co Cork, Ireland

DEATH 3 MAR 1919 • Upper Square, Clonakilty, Co Cork, Ireland

Upper Square is the address given by his mother on the WFA card

They have an MIC for another man in the tree.

NB it is 4373

Great research Craig and Mark, thank you very much indeed. I am hoping that there is a record somewhere for Jeremiah, 4343 (Thanks Mark!), but try as I might I cannot find one on FMP.

Craig, I have stored the Census details to see if this whole thing pans out. I would really hate to miss him.

Kind regards.

Tom.

I cannot even find a MIC for 4343 Collins...yet!

Thanks Mark, I love the MIC, if we can find the critical page he should qualify, finger crossed. I could not even find his MIC.

Excellent Mark, thank you very much, all we are missing now is the critical page, so near and yet....

Been looking.. trying to trace possible sister

The Catherine in Anglesborough in 1911 appears to have been born 15/9/1878 (transcribed record on ancestry).  So she was actually 32 at the census not 34. Father Denis, mother Margaret - mother nee Hogan. Does not get us very far. 

 

This casualty, 8106 Andrew Joyce, RMF, lived in Wigan, but his parents, Patrick and Catherine, lived at 17 Francis Street, Limerick - https://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/692792/joyce,-andrew/

Been chasing Jeremiah and cannot find anything else to add to what is already known. Cause of discharge XVI is 'unfit' but that won't be enough I guess. The discharge/attestation papers seem to be nowhere to be found. Sorry

Kind regards.

Looks very similar to the FMP version. No references to what was wrong at all other than no heavy lifting in the garden!

No joy with this one Tom.

There's a service record for a John Crean of Cork 7763 RMF, discharged 1919, dysentry and bad teeth.

Maybe a relative.

Not your man but the only Tom Crean I know of, sailed with Sir Ernest Shackleton in an open boat from Elephant Island to South Georgia.

This man enlisted 17 Aug 18 - at 31 9/12 so the age would be out (not that rules things out).

 

EDIT:

Pension Ledger address matches the death cert so it must the same man.

Discharged with inflammation of the stomach - attributable.
