I think these may be two seperate men, in Harry s records his mother is Catherine, Kate in the 1901 Census. This disagrees with CWGC. Should we reconsider that these are the same man?

 Henry was born in Dublin, Hubert was born in Lancs.

Sorry Dai, I could not see the MIC. Does it give different regiments?

 Kind regards.

 Tom.

One other mystery is a snippet in the newspaper that says 'Private H Killalea, Leinster Regiment, killed June 20, 1916. Relatives reside at 234 Phibsborough Road, Dublin.'

The MIC reads:

Killalee

H  ubert    (The card is mostly in red ink, H.Killalee is in red, but 'ubert' is filled in later in blue)

R. Innis Fus

Pte 21352

KIA 20.6.16

First entered Balkan theatre (2b) 24.8.15

 

No other regiments.

1901 Census gives Hubert aged 6 living in Great Harwood with Father, Thomas W. (35) ,General Labourer, and mother, Mary , 29.

Which does agree with CWGC.

So Hubert and Henry are two different men.

Brilliant, and thank you for the PM. I was hoping you would agree that these are two different men, but there sure are some similarities, I wonder who the other H Kallalea was and did he die? We may never know,

For your help and patience I thank you very much indeedDai.

Kind regards.

 Tom.

The only H Killalee in the effects records on 20 June 16 is Hubert - effects paid to his mother Mary. He was #21352, 8th Bn Royal Inniskilling.

Born and enlisted in Blackburn according to SDGW - formerly served with the Hussars.

Thanks Dai, very interesting indeed. I did find his marriage in Dublin in 1915, but in the box where his fathers name is Frederick Killalee. Jow maybe his father was dead at that time and someone replaced him, who knows?

I appreciate you input very much indeed.

 Kind regards.

Can't so far see any sign of Henry being killed - unless he used an alias as there's no obvious sign of a medal index card either .

First time I've seen a one where someone was captured by one of the German raiders - She took about a dozen ships worth based on this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Wolf_(1913)

" Wolf, on the evening of the 11th of March, whilst well east of the Seychelles Islands, SMS WOLF sighted smoke on the horizon. Up went her biplane Wolfchen to investigate and she returned with the news that she had sighted a merchant ship. 

The seaplane was hoisted inboard, and Wolf set off in pursuit, eventually Wordsworth of 3,509 tons with a full cargo of rice was overtaken and stopped, some of her cargo was retrieved and then, a combination of well laid explosive charges and opening up her sea cocks sent this ship to the floor of the Indian Ocean.

Sorry lads and lassies, may I please have some more help, if I may.

This lad.

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/1745923/LAWTON, HARRY

If my theory is correct his wife's name is May Lawton, can you help me please? There is nothing on him in FMP, but perhaps the effects reg might help?

 Thanking you again, very much indeed, in advance.

Kind regards.

 Tom.
