Pte Richard Conlon KLR casualty - Help with his CWGC details

[davidbohl]

Pte Richard Conlon #4229, #241890 CWGC

I can confirm his marriage in 1912 to Margaret(nee Byrne) through Soldiers Effects, which also states father James.

The rest of his family have escaped me so far based on the age of 30 on cwgc, so dob circa. 1888.

1911 census, there's a Richard Conlon b.1885 Manchester, is this him please ?

Thanks

Dave

Interesting development IPT, we seem to be going down the "Conlan" theme now, 1891 census is too
