Rice Family Armagh

[armagh20]

I am researching the Rice Family from Armagh who attended St Mark,s Church the Mall Armagh
Lee Rice died during WW1,but I am having problems finding out details of his background and death,as far as I know there is "Rice" families in Armagh city before the Great War,one at Mullinure a farmer and one a soldier in Armagh Barracks,who then went to live on the Newry Road,in 1911 there was also a Rice who lived  on the Mall. I do not know if the familys  are related.

Any one with any information on the Rice family,s?
Thank you
Joe

I've merged this post with your previous thread on Lee Rice. His death certificate will list exact place and cause of death and will give name of an informant who may be a relative.

 I searched immigration records on ancestry

The first passenger list is hard to read but it shows that when he sailed to New York in 1913 he was a Marine Officer.

It also shows that his main residence before departure was Glasgow.

He returned to Scotland from  New York in July 1914.

What I don't know is where he was from 1901 to 1913 and what he did from 1914 before he joined the RN .

Can any one help?
Many thanks
Joe
