Hello, My maidan name Rose Flynn I was born to my Parents Alice and William Flynn who lived in 6
 Flynns cottages, My grandfather was John Flynn who was the owner of the Carrier  business, I was born in Jan 1942, and in Jan 1943 all the cottages were knocked down , Most of the residents moved to Cabra West or East, the Names are my family Flynns, Mc Mahon, Allans, Murreys to east Cabra, I remember the name carthy  being on the census but not sure where this family moved to. I still live here in Cabra

Hi Rose. I am so sorry that your reply went unanswered for so long. Thank you so much for your reply. I am only now getting back into the family tree - If I find anything on this branch of the family I will let you know.  Regards, Michelle

I wonder if the other pencilled entry of 63 Cornwall St, Higher Openshaw, Manchester, might be the address to where his medals had to be sent (about 1922).

Thanks a million Colin for that insight.  How interesting!  Something else to think about.

Thanks Blue - I think I might have traced the groom to the Shankill parish in Belfast, so I guessing that he was Protestant???... but thank you for your information.  It seems nothing can be taken for granted in genealogy.

Thanks a million Ken!  You got so much more from that short piece of text than I did.  I just found a record online with basic information on him.  His marriage cert says that he was living on Spike Island in 1858.  His children's birth cert suggest he was living close to the coast in Dublin, near the martello tower, a few years later, so I think that this is my sncestor.  Can you tell from it if there might be more records somewhere else about him, actual full army records - the pink pages you can buy sometimes, or if this is it - just this standard information about the regiment.  Any information at all would be great.  I just don't know where to go from here.
