I know they were there earlier but by 1916 they'd been placed in to Brigade MG Company's etc - I'm not sure if battalions reformed them later to replace those.

Private James Arnett Baird, Machine Gun Section, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, killed in action on 13th November, while serving with the Naval Division, was the youngest son of Mrs Baird, 14 Glenarm Avenue, Drumcondra, Dublin.

So 1916 rather than 1918 ( I did wonder about the earlier date report) #27255 Greene does not show in the effects records but I'll look further.

He's down as alias Greene (which is his mother's surname). His mother is Bridget Green(e) but not sure where the Farrell comes from. Possibly this family - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Fitzwilliam/Charlotte_Street/72976/ This would be their marriage https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/2d98530027856?b=https%3A%2F%2Fchurchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie%2Fchurchrecords%2Fsearch.jsp%3Fname2fm%3D%26name2l%3D%26namefm%3Djohn%26namel%3DGreen%26location%3D%26yyfrom%3D1880%26yyto%3D1883%26submit%3DSearch%26sort%3D%26pageSize%3D100%26diocese%3D%26parish%3D%26century%3D%26decade%3D%26ddBfrom%3D%26ddMfrom%3D%26ddDfrom%3D%26mmBfrom%3D%26mmMfrom%3D%26mmDfrom%3D%26yyBfrom%3D%26yyMfrom%3D%26yyDfrom%3D%26ddBto%3D%26ddMto%3D%26ddDto%3D%26mmBto%3D%26mmMto%3D%26mmDto%3D%26yyBto%3D%26yyMto%3D%26yyDto%3D%26locationB%3D%26locationM%3D%26locationD%3D%26member0%3D%26member1%3D%26member2%3D%26member3%3D%26member4%3D%26member5%3D%26member6%3D%26member7%3D%26member8%3D%26member9%3D%26namef0%3D%26namef1%3D%26namef2%3D%26namef3%3D%26namef4%3D%26namef5%3D%26namef6%3D%26namef7%3D%26namef8%3D%26namef9%3D%26namel0%3D%26namel1%3D%26namel2%3D%26namel3%3D%26namel4%3D%26namel5%3D%26namel6%3D%26namel7%3D%26namel8%3D%26namel9%3D%26keyword%3D%26event%3DM Can't see a Farrell connection if it them though.

Aye, these people using aliases are a pain. There is a NoK address on the will which which might - for a Mrs M Green (suggested to be a widow by the newspaper write-up so I'd expect her using her initial rather than a husbands ? ) - 32 Cuffe Street.

ss002d6252 Posted 9 December , 2016 Share Posted 9 December , 2016 (edited) Looking on the Dublin electoral register doesn't show past 1915 unfortunately for the address - http://databases.dublincity.ie/burgesses/search_new.php?currentpage=47&searchtype=advanced&search_name=&search_address=cuffe+street&startyear=0&endyear=0&search_qualification=&search_division_name=&search_ward= EDIT: Mary Greene is a sister by the looks of it and Bernard (or Barnard Greene) #18037 was a witness so it is the right family on the census link.
