Hi,
Thanks for all for the quick replies.
Does the enlistment record supplied by R J confirm he served in WW2 or does it mean if he is  called up his rank will be Private?

Thanks.
Paul.

Thanks Shelly,
How cool!!
For a wee boy from Belfast(getting on a bit nowadays)having an American G. I. in the family is just as exciting as a New York cop.

Once again I am asking about a family ancestor about whom I know very little.
George Liddy was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 17th September 1908.
He emigrated to USA in 1916, aged 7 or 8, and his parents settled in Cincinnati, Ohio.
He married Mary C Hoban.
They are both buried in St Joseph's new cemetery, Cincinnati.
George died on 6th November 1975 aged 67.
Mary died on 8th July 2001 aged 88.

I cannot find a marriage record for them, but this may be because the records are not on-line yet.
I can find no evidence of any children from the marriage, but would love to be proved wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Paul.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

That George Liddy is my grandfather who was born in Tulla, Ireland.  He passed away in Boston, Massachusetts in the 80s.

There are only 2 Geoge Liddy births under Tulla district in the civil registrations on Irish Genealogy (does not include births less than 100 years old)-
One in 1879 (son of Patrick Liddy & Mary Halloran)-

other in 1887 (son of James Liddy & Catherine McGrath)-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1887/02568/1949549.pdf
Not sure if either is your grandfather  :-\

George Liddy was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 17th September 1908.(son of George Liddy & Mary Ellen Mason)-

Hi Kzeleniak, if your grandfather (RIP) was in his 70s when he passed away in the 1980s this is probably his details listed below.I don't know if you already have this information but just in case you don't.

George Liddy born 1st October 1910 at Cragnoe, Tulla , County Clare, Ireland to George Liddy, a farmer and Bridget (Moloney) Liddy.
He left Ireland for USA,aged 18, on 18th March 1928, sailing from Cobh (Queenstown), County Cork on board the Carmania.
He appears to to have travelled with 18 year old Patrick O'Dea, also from Tulla.
His father paid for his ticket.
He was going to stay with his uncle James Liddy in Room 1101, 25 Broad Street, New York.
He was described as being 5ft 8 ins tall with fresh complexion, dark hair and blue eyes.

Regards,
Paul.
