Looking for William MAHON 1894
« on: Tuesday 23 November 04 18:18 UTC (UK) »
Hello from a newbie!

I am looking for my grandfather's birth record.  William Vincent MAHON, b. 1894 Enniscorthy??, Co. Wexford, d. 31 December 1960, Hemel Hempstead.  He married Daisy Evelyn Spicer in 1924(?).
I believe his father was John Mahon and his mother was Mary Laughlin(?).  All I know anecdotally was that he came to England via Liverpool to fight in WWI and won the Military Medal for saving his CO's life.
I would be grateful for any help in looking for his records as I have no idea how to go about searching in Ireland.
Thanks in anticipation

Hello Mo

Thanks for your very kind offer.  I have sent you a PM with all the details that I know.  Most of the information is anecdotal from my paternal aunt.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
With thanks
Judith

PS I discovered from my notes it is 1897, not 1894!

HI,

Plenty of Mahon's in my family. Mine are from Drumderry and Grangefort near Tullow in County Carlow. They then moved to Bunclody, which is up the road from Enniscorthy.

let me know if these link up with your Mahons

Regards
John
