Searching for the birth/baptism in 1898 of one William Mcafee and his parents, believed to be of Cty Fermanagh. Possibly with the 1911 census, which would just be a bonus.
I believe this to be 1300660 Pvte William Mcafee who died at Pembroke Dock on the 20th June 1940 and was buried at the Garrison Cemetery.
No other information sort other than the above mentioned.

I hope that you have some luck with your search of the census. If you do not find him, what is the source of the date of birth and how sure are you of its accuracy?

Thanks, I live in Pembroke Town(hence my signature) and have far more history/information with less errors than the web site you mention. Please note the listing of my e-books.
I already had his service details, as can be seen from my original posting. As I said, all I was searching for was the birth place and possible parents (which I still seek).

Have you tried writing to any of the local newspaper in fermanagh and putting a letter in asking for information about William Mcafee

I asked how confident you were about the date of birth. If 1898 is not set in stone then have a look at this William John Balfour in the 1901 census (born about 1891) who may be the same person recorded as William John McAfee in the 1911 census:

Well there's no Religion mentioned, just looking for a Baptism in some church.. I posted ALL the Wm McAfees in ALL Ireland on 1901 and 1911 Censii.
All the poster was searching for was the birth place and possible parents (which they still seek)...the birth/baptism in 1898 of one William Mcafee and his parents, believed to be of Cty Fermanagh, if he's in Ireland in 1901 then is he on Census link posted?
One could waste hours looking at RC baptisms and be wasting time if he was Presbyterian, or C of I etc etc
-
...and he might not have been in Fermanagh
-
was he married, if not a letter would have been sent to his parents about his death. Was there any death notices saying son of or husband off?
