Looking help from the good folk on the forum.
2 Armagh men killed on the same day,same surname are they brothers? I have researched the local papers,service records etc maybe I am missing some thing???

8214 Rifleman Thomas .Kearney age 20.1st Bn Royal Irish Rifles KIA 16 /08 /1917 son of Patrick Kearney 4 Railway st Armagh. Tyne Cote Memorial.

12354 Pte Patrick Kearney age n/k. 9th Bn Royal Irish Fusiliers KIA 16 /08 /1917 Birthplace Armagh Residence Armagh. Enlisted Coatbridge Lanarks. Tyne Cote Cemetery.

1911 Census Kearney Family at 65 Railway St. Armagh there is a Patrick Kearney aged 18 also a Thomas Kearney aged 14.

1911 Census Kearney Family at 11 Irish st Armagh there is a Patrick aged 18.
Are they Brothers or not?
Many thanks

Seems odd that no father etc is shown on Patrick's entry if he was the brother of Thomas and died on the same day.  CWGC website just shows his initial

Thomas's entry also shows his mother

Son of Patrick and Mrs. E. Kearney, of 4, Railway St., Armagh

The 1911 entry for 65 Railway St that you mention has mother as Elizabeth

It's not uncommon for different details (or lack of them) on CWGC site.

Have you tried the 1911 Scottish census for a Patrick Kearney in Coatbridge?

Hello Andrew C.
I have not tried the 1911 census for Coatbridge as both Patrick,s are on Armagh 1911 Census.
Many Thanks
