Dear Ann it is some time since anyone has posted to this thread so I am not sure if/when you will read this; Your grandfather, Thomas Baird died in 2011 following complications brought on by dementia. He was working in East Anglia as a labourer in early 1944 when he was conscripted into the army, the Royal Iniskillen regiment. He fought in the North African and Italian campaigns and formed part of the allied forces occupying Austria. He had a younger brother and sister both of whom have passed away. In 1933 his father was living in Carlow when he was killed in a road accident possibly involving a post office van. As this was a second marriage their step mother sent the children away possibly to relatives in the Manchester area. Toms father worked for the Irish Lights service as had his father before him out of portaferry on the skullmartin lightship. Awareness of your family only came to light in November this year (2015) when army records were obtained. I hope this helps you and your family to piece more of the puzzle together.
