museumtom Posted 23 October , 2016 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2016 Thank you for trying Bob. I have to rule him out as he was not an Irishman, I thought he was a different Cornelius Donovan from Dublin. I appreciate your kind help, and than you again! Kind regards. Tom.

museumtom Posted 1 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2016 (edited) May I ask for your help please once again. I am sure this lad was living and working in Dublin but SDGW says residence is Scone, Perthshire. I have CWGC, SDGW and there is nothing in FMP. http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/333107/DRUMMOND, DAVID He is in Pals at Suvla Bay also but does not show the Dublin connection. Can you help me please? Thank you most kindly in advance. Tom. Edited 1 November , 2016 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on the effects records that would help. SDGW often appears to list next of kin addresses for the residence. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 1 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2016 Thank you kindly Craig, I understand the SDGW Residence thing. There is an image in a Dublin newspaper that says he was a civil servant there, but try as I might I cannot find any other reference to this except the vague 'civil servant' one in Pals at Suvla Bay.

ss002d6252 Posted 2 November , 2016 Share Posted 2 November , 2016 (edited) He's in the overseas death index but again, no further information is there other than the index to the death cert. 1911 English census only has 1 Owen Kinsella and he's born in Cumberland in 1884 - working as a metal worker. Family are from Wicklow. EDIT: He died 1967 so you can cross him off. Craig Edited 2 November , 2016 by ss002d6252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
