little bob Posted 12 June , 2019 Share Posted 12 June , 2019 (edited) I'm getting confused. I believe that 414894 was born in Dublin 1879. 6547was born in Callan in 1883 and died in 1920. Both appear to have records on Fold 3 Bob Edited 12 June , 2019 by little bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 12 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 12 June , 2019 Feck, I was hoping there might be something located somewhere else in pension or record docs. He has all the hallmarks of being a qualifier but it is not possible without that sheet, or e mention in the pension docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
