But thanks for your help.

[heath]

was david alive then as there is a number of davids

[jeanharris]

Hi Heath.
Not sure but by 1918 when Ellen married he was.Or she was just told her father was called David!
Why was she in Kent England in 1918 or did she meet my grandfather in Ireland,he was in the army.

           Regards Jean.

So he was in the WW1 do you know were he served and the regiment,If you have any medals that would help.

[jeanharris]

Hi Heath.
Yes he was in WW1 and I have his records.He was in the army before WW1 and on the 1911 census he was in Singapore on his way to India.He was in The Kent Buffs in France for most of the war before going to The Essex Regiment.
I am sure The Buffs were in Ireland before WW1.
None of this has help before to find the right Ellen Jane McClelland!
I really need the 1901 census for Ireland when she was only 11and living at home.
Thanks again for your help.
Where in the world are you?
I now live in Perth Australia but was born in Kent.
                 Regards Jean.

Fermoy - county cork.  you have her birth cert.
We have some Irish records it will take me a little while to get to them so give me Ellen's birth and what is on the cert regarding parents.  I live in NZ

Hi Heath.
But the point is that I cannot find the right Ellen Jane McClelland to get her birth cert.
Thanks for the Buffs link.
                       Regards Jean.
