museumtom Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Thank you George and mark, I posted his death cert which shows he died at 2 Sea View, Queenstown, and Mark shows that it is his mothers residence, fantastic!! Which gives me http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Queenstown/Sea_View_Terrace/405271/ http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Queenstown_Urban_No__1/Sea_View_Place/1138390/ This gives us his parents Maurice and Bridget Kirby, born born in and lived in Cork. Using this I tried to find his birth cert 1872-1875 without success so far. Thanks again for all your help lads, this could not progress with it. Kind regards. Tom.

museumtom Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Finished with 1920 now, and I cannot say I am unhappy to leave it. It was a very frustrating year to research. I only hope the M.O.D., releases the post war records and we can add more to the C.W.G.C. Having sad all that 1921 has 75% less images to evaluate so a couple of days should do it. Thanks for all the help lads, it is not possible with your generous unselfish input. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Now on 1921. If this man was discharged with mitral regurgitation he should qualify, can you help please? https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBM/SILVERWAR/BADGES/71145 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 13 June , 2019 Share Posted 13 June , 2019 (edited) Acton Ancestry has some service papers - mixed up with other Actons. Does not include the significant doc. Ex-RDF 1890 onwards. From Rathnew, Wicklow WFA card seems to say "Disability Nerves". Reverse shows 100% disability in 1920.

Mark1959 Posted 13 June , 2019 Share Posted 13 June , 2019 (edited) White These seem to be relevant http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Waterford/Waterford_Urban_No__4/Lower_Grange_Road/1762303/ http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Waterford/Waterford_No__4_Urban/Ballytruckle/674208/ Note older brother Francis or "Frank" edit There is a WFA card for a Patrick White. Address in Ballytruckle. Private 3/6264 Royal Irish. Discharged 8/4/16. looks like VDH due to war service. However some evidence on reverse may suggest he was still alive after 1920. One to check and rule out. https://www.fold3.com/image/1/645097591 Another card for him. Address hostel in Middlesborough. Still says due to war service but disability says DAH https://www.fold3.com/image/1/643625677 2 pages for 3/6264 https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f007393420%2f00067&parentid=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f7393420%2f3%2f67 Suggests perhaps he is too young for your man.

museumtom Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 (edited) Excellent Mark, thank you very much. He died in 1921 so you are bang on the money, he was alive after 1920.

museumtom Posted 13 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Mark. There is a lot there, the census was particularly helpful. 2 pages for 3/6264 https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f007393420%2f00067&parentid=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f7393420%2f3%2f67 Suggests perhaps he is too young for your man. ' This is where I first picked him up, he was 18 in 1913 so in 1920 he could be 25ish, his dc says he was 27 yes? Sorry George, it was a mighty try though!
