Boer War
« on: Wednesday 16 August 17 11:44 BST (UK) »
Hi All
just wondering on the off chance if any of you could search for a Patrick  Kelleher  born 1882 who served in the Boer war ,he was born in cork and was awarded a medal for service , I believe his address may have been Grattan Street at the time of sign up, I have a feeling his father served too as he was also missing off the 1901 Census ,he would have been about roughly 55 so maybe not ? working away maybe

Thanks  :)

I am sorry, are not allowed to do look ups on commercial sites.

 Check if your local library has a subscription, you may get access that way.
