Thanks

also do you have access to 1911 UK Census?

[roger jarvis]

Thank you very much for the leads, i found his original records on microfilm, but i will check the links you supplied. i found him on the 1911 census, he was recorded whilst in the army at Newcastle. what i cant seem to find is his registry on the 1901 census from Ireland, or his sister Mary.

The place of birth on attestation forms is usually a civil parish and while the areas of the civil and R.C parishes of Trinity Without are similar, there are differences and he may have been baptised in another city R.C parish. Also he may not have known or lied about his age on joining.
There are four baptisms for a James Moore between 1886 - 1892 in Waterford City - www.rootsireland.ie - (free to search, pay to view)
Not appearing on the census in Waterford could mean he was in another part of the country or he was in an orphanage or the workhouse - only initials are shown for inmates of some of the orphanages and workhouses.
A possible entry in the 1901 census for his sister Mary age 22 - working as a servant in Dublin - http://tinyurl.com/qe7p93k

I don't know if you're still doing this, but I'm looking for information on Tobins from Clonmel. I know about Edward Tobin who died at Ypres, but I'm looking for information on a John Joseph Tobin. I believe he served in France and was wounded and sent to a Belgian hospital. He was born around 1892. Sorry that's all I know.

His records are on Findmypast here.
