Remembered Today:

Royal Dublin Fusiliers Sergeant at Victoria Barracks

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new here. I am trying to find info on a great uncle who was a Sergeant in RDS see marriage cert attached. I believe he served and travelled to India where one of his children was born. Are files available on line, I am trying to find info on his parents. I only know that his father was Michael. His wife was Mary McDonald. They had four children, Michael, Christina, Kathleen and Anna. Any help much appreciated.

He appears to be in 1911 census with RDF in India - click

 

A 23 year old Corporal born in Dublin. You can get his birth from

 

From the 3 MIC possibles he is probably the man that goes no to be promoted to WOII

Thanks Corisande. Yes pity it didn't happen in Ireland-useful resource.

And I'm wrong on the birth count too so time for bed

This is his MIC - you can get it free on Nat Archives, or a better copy with Ancestry Subscription

 

It shows he transferred to N Staffs Regt later in WW1

Thats probably my tree you are looking at.... I have a Michael Flynn that was my g grandfathers brother...... and relations of the Michel Flynn born 1889 is related to me... so I am confused. We are related somehow.... maybe a cousin of my g grandfather...

Don't think you need a subscription to Ancestry to download an MIC. its certainly a better version than the NA have.

Corisande, 7075086 appears to have  a different birth date to OP posting of 13.11.88

Full Name: M Flynn

Birth Date: 6 Sep 1889

Rank: Army Other Ranks, Discharges for 1921-1939

Service Number: 7075086

Reference Number: ADT000220524

Conflict Period: World War I

Served for: United Kingdom

 

but of course this may be the correct one and she has followed the wrong baptism record.

Anybody find a Michael Flynn birth for 6.9.89?
