Thanks for trying Simon, much appreciated.

[Simon_Fielding]

This is a good read and goes into considerable detail on the Rising - no sign of any Dowd - name or unit must be an error.... How frustrating!

He's show in the effects records but I haven't checked anywhere else for him - death location shown as Dublin (Sinn Fein rebellion).

 

War Gratuity shown as 'Not admissible' which would usually indicate he had less than 6 months home service at time of death.

EDIT:
#9945 attested 31 Dec 15 so the gratuity ties in.

No relatives were able to be contacted as his monies were put on the unclaimed effects list but they had sent a W5070 out so they had an address on record somewhere.

Clutching at straws that James Duffy / Dowd have become conflated... 

[IPT]

Duffy is buried in the grounds of Dr Steevens Hospital, in a collective grave with three other soldiers killed that day, 7022 Oscar Bentley 5th Lancers, 9852 Michael Carr, 3rd Bn. Royal Irish Regt and 11162 Thomas Treacy, 3rd Bn. Royal Irish Regt.

 

Can we assume they were not taken to Jervis Street?

 

 

 

[museumtom]

Thanks lads.

Dowd was shot through the heart and Duffy was shot in the head.

Dowd was brought to Jervis Street Hospital and Duffy was brought to Steevens Hospital.

Dowd was brought to Jervis Street Hospital and Duffy was brought to Steevens Hospital.

Rules him out then.

Thanks Craig, I dont mess about. Lol.

The lads I ask for your help for here are totally impossible to nail down without the experience and lateral thinking of the pals on this forum. There will always be an angle you never considered that will establish an identity. It not just that the pals here have access to other databases, some not even on the net, but its their willingness to help when they could be watching telly or just passing the post by. 

Don't ever think I take ye for granted. It is a privilege to work with ye, even though it yourselves do most of the work.

Thank you all most kindly again.

Kind regards.

 Tom.
