museumtom Posted 27 September , 2016 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2016 Good ma Craig, Thanks for looking anyway. Here is another mystery man, its just a collection of facts, I dont know his date of death or his regiment or Navy. He is not in the CWGC. Can you offer any suggestions please? Limerick Chronicle, August, 1916. Captain J F Hodder, of Bellea Castle, Carrigaline, died at Plymouth. He had been for a time Master of the South Union Hunt. He also yachted and raced. Death index search gives us Francis J Hodder Plymouth aged 56 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Liscleary/Ballea/418511/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted 27 September , 2016 Share Posted 27 September , 2016 (edited) From a Cork newspaper. Does not explain Captain, I;m afraid. One paper seems to say that died in Plymouth and one that he died in Ireland. Edited 27 September , 2016 by johnboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effects clerks seem to have been very good at noting details of pre-war regulars, although (for obvious reasons) less so as the war went on.
