Guest tonysplodge Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 could anyone help me with any information regarding eight McCarthys all from Merthyr Tydfil who died in action. i know one was my great grandfather a "john McCarthy". i think the others were all related to me but i know nothing else about them or the circumstances of their deaths. are they commemorated anywhere, any information would be gratefully received. I believe he was in welsh regiment 8057. many thanks tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Noble Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 Hi Tony, seen you've taken the plunge As Max said, that seems to be the John your looking for. A bit tentative this but here's another 2, could be related. Guardsman James McCarthy, 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/casualty_...?casualty=47767 and, Private Joseph McCarthy, Army Service Corps http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/casualty_...asualty=2759831 Although James is listed as being born and enlisting at Merthyr, no place of residence is given. Joseph is also listed as being born and enlisting at Merthyr, but residence is given as Dowlais. Source for the info Tony is the Soldiers Died in the Great War CD Rom. Maybe time to quiz the family! Hope that is some help. Regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian turner Posted 22 June , 2005 Share Posted 22 June , 2005 Tony, Maybe you should have a look at the 1901 census online. You might be able to narrow down the Merthyr McCarthys with their names, so that you can cross check with the SDGW info. Hopefully you might get enough info on the free search section, so it would not necessarily cost you. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
