we are looking for any info on Hugh Caves Galway born in Belfast Ireland in 1888.he came to England after the 1911 cencus.he worked for the fairs but that's about all we know.His death or whether he married would be nice to know??or even the name of the fair??ever hopeful of some help?

Your post doesn't seem to have anything to do with this thread  :-\

Click on 'report to moderator and ask it to be split to form its own topic to avoid confusion. If Hugh stayed in England its likely that he died there- have you searched for his death yet? I can't see a likely death (or marriage) in England or Wales.

a maybe death  Deaths Jun 1917 Galway    Hugh R    35yrs   Liverpool    8b   159
Born c1882 so seems a bit too old.

Hugh Caves Galway born 1888 Belfast- parents John Galway & Sarah Anne Caves-
