 ;D
Can any one please help me with Thomas Patrick Blake,

Thomas Patrick Blake ,
Lived in my town of Dalton In Furness,Lancashire, he was an iron ore miner, born circa 1872/ 1875, Kilglass County, Sligo,

He is here in 1901 with his wife Bridget born Ireland, sadly she dies in 1908 ,and there doesnt seem to be any children to this couple,he is still here in 1911 as a widower,

Thomas was killed in action 15th June 1915, and is commemorated on our war memorial, he was in the Kings Own Royal Lancashire, regimental number 20016. it would be nice to add some further details to this brave mans record, birth, marriage or just about anything,

There is a family on Family Search ,Ireland Births and Baptisms some of the dates are way off and first names are off but their children are born in Sligo and one in co Down Sarah Elizabeth 1867 every one is very near the bone so to speak also taking into account the mother ages by 20 years between 1901 and 1911 being 54 and 74'
the parents names are Thomas Blake and Bridget Cowley.
