museumtom Posted 19 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 19 June , 2019 (edited) I think I understand you now George. Why am I posting death certs from 1920? There are some death certs for people who died not registered until the year after. I am sure there are more 1920 deaths to come that are registered in 1921. I have saved all my death certs by year of register. Edited 19 June , 2019 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 19 June , 2019 Share Posted 19 June , 2019 (edited) Kiely has a shed load of service papers on Ancestry. Cannot find on FMP at the moment. He was demobilised in March 1919 rather than discharged unfit. Nothing of import on 2 WFA cards. Widow applied for a pension I think.

Mark1959 Posted 19 June , 2019 Share Posted 19 June , 2019 Michael Kelly https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=S2/GBM/MH106/MH106-1465/0015&parentid=GBM/MH106/P2/442995 shows he was in 4 Stationary Hospital for over a month early 1917. The sent to 32 Stationary hospital. So diagnosis is “Shell Shock W”. So probably indicates reason for discharge a few months later. WFA cards do not help. Confirm his address.
