Thats the date on the online tree - so it would appear to me not the Edward born 1892

Not uncommon to find people attaching the wrong record to their online trees

Now see that is my kind of thinking lol... I have always thought there was something because he only seemed to exist from 1923 .. without being too cheeky after all this work you have gone to can I please ask another favour and this if you would send me the link for his military record.

I would love to see if he was sent abroad .. I know Mary's brother, my gt Uncle Paddy was living in America but part of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces .  I will also check out the address in Glasgow . just out of curiosity to see if it was anywhere near my own family..

Thank you for all this hard work .. I will try track down the death cert for 1952 see if anything turns up ...

I see that you are on An..ty.  Do a search for:

Edward Mcguigan

1892 Belfast

Father John

Mother Jane Henry

Male

Ireland


Then do a military search and the first on the list is Edward (spouse Emely Branken)

Its not hard work Anna - its part of the chase!!

Susan born 22 Dec 1914 (at Bow St. family home of Edward).  Registered 13 Jan 1915 and Edward goes awol 28th January.  Good searching AGH. 

I suppose we can only eliminate Edward by finding after 1923.  Don't know how you would actually prove it is him.

Put a posting on the Armed Forces forum.  Initial response seems to say that Edward was not apprehended after desertion: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=767914.new#new

Have found this death record for a Mary Alice Mcguigan:

Name:   Mary Alice McGuiggan
Estimated birth year:   abt 1914
Date of Registration:   Jan-Feb-Mar 1914
Death Age:   0
Registration district:   Belfast
Volume:   1
Page:   343
FHL Film Number:   0101606

Mary was born 1 May 1913 so did not make first birthday.

Also found a death for a Susan Mcguigan:

Sarah McGuigan
Estimated birth year:   abt 1913
Date of Registration:   Jan-Feb-Mar 1921
Death Age:   8
Registration district:   Belfast
Volume:   1
Page:   303
FHL Film Number:   0101608

Not sure if this is the same Susan, but I can only find one birth for a Susan.  [later found that this entry was mis-transcribed the childs name was Sarah (mothe Isabella)]

Can't find any entries of marriage or death for either an Edward or Emily Mcguigan which fits.
