Ella did die in 1917- scanned image of register lists parents as James Usher & Catherine Dee.

I've been hoping to find some of those Usher siblings in Boston with Tobin children but no luck so far.

There is a John Tobin that joined the army in WW1 in Boston and then lists his permanent address as Clonmel but the date of birth doesn't match my John or the Usher Tobin one and it lists his brother in Boston as William and I have found no William born to the Usher Tobin's. I'll find the link in a bit.

Top of the Casualty Form says his DOB is July 1890 and down the side it gives his brother William as next of kin with an Allston, Mass address, but at the bottom it just says 'Brother' with a Cashel address.

There's no stories of my John Joseph ever being in the US.

I've found several John Tobin's born in the Waterford/Tipperary area, and 2 with July 1890 birthdates, but none with 25 July 1890. I can't find a William with the same parents as any of the Johns.

I found WWI and WWII draft registration cards for a John Joseph Tobin born Co. Tipperary (WWI- ? July 1890 "natural born citizen (father a citizen)" living in Newtown, Mass.) (WWII 22 July 1890, living in Dorchester, Mass.). Looks like he's son of David Tobin & Bridget Barrett.

The John who served in WW2 from Mass definitely wasn't my John. He was in Glasgow in 1930 and 1939 and 1947 (marriage, census and death).
