Kind regards.

Hello again Pals. 

This man is another mystery. All I need is a date of death. I tried the Irish Geneaogy site for a death cert without success. Dooley, Patrick, son of John Dooley, Granagh, Ardrahan, County Galway, died after discharge (discharged 02/08/1916 with TB at Dublin). Royal Irish Fusiliers, Pte, 17010, (previously 1457, Royal Irish Regiment). Enlisted Clonmel. Born 1889 at Ardrahan, Gort, County Galway.

Can you help me please?

Kind bregards.

 Tom.

The effects records show he died after discharge but don't give the date - the only thing they do indicate is that he died before 29/8/1918 (as that was the first payment made to his father) but that adds nothing to what we already have.

 Kind regards.
