Hi Military experts

I was wondering if anyone can help me make more sense of my gg. grandfathers military records.  I don't believe I am able to post it up as I got it from Ancestry and havent been able to find it anywhere else.

He was born in 1871 in Clare, Ireland (despite his record stating he was a few years younger).

Rank & Regimental Number: Gunner - 281020
Name: Carmody, John
Regiment or corps: RGA Regiment, 109th Coy Guernsey VRIC 5548

Stated on Attestation that he had previously served as RGA but cant read what it said after that.

It mentions his childrens names - well 2/3 John & Mary - he also had a daughter called Teresa but not sure why thats not on there.

It then gives his statement of the service but am unable to decipher most of what it states apart from little bits of what I already know.

Cork RGA - Gunner - 24.8.15
RGA Guernsey posted? - 13.5.17
Discharged K.R. 3GZ. XVI - 5.7.18

If anyone is able to look at it - or if I am able to post some bits of it - I am not too sure but would be greatful on some help on what he may have done.

Thanks,
Mike.

I am trying to locate any info on a Patrick Crimmins (Cremins)

Born Mar 21 1905 in Kerry, Ireland and died April 13 1962, Pentonville Prison, Isleworth. 

He was deported from the USA to the UK in 1954 and ended up in Prison some time after that but I don't know what for or why he was deported to the UK for that matter..

Unfortunately I have not been able to trace any further information other than that so was hoping someone might be able to assist.  I have tried contacting the National Archives who advised they had no records as of yet for this time and is probably still likely to be within the prison but have had no luck in contacting anyone there. 

I have tried looking through Newspapers etc for Case details to try and obtain where, why and when he would have been sentenced and its proving unsuccessful so far so would appreciate any information you can possible provide.

Also I know he passed away in Prison (I have the death cert) I am led to believe he may have been placed in an unnamed grave at the back of the prison or in a local graveyard.

Looking for any newspaper articles, prison / court requests and inquest.  I have located that there is a coroners inquest record at the LMA of which unfortunately have not been able to visit or get anyone to visit on my behalf - so if anyone does go there from time to time the reference is - COR/LN/1962/123.

I have located a ship record on Ancestry of a Hanna Nolan (my great aunt) - I don't know if I am allowed to upload the image here or not.

It states on it that she was travelling back to 63 Niccol Street, New Haven, Conn. on SS Baltic - Feb 14th 1932.  It also stated on there that she had been living in Boston previous either since 1920 or for the past 20 years.  It looks as though she travelled back to Ireland in Dec 1931 - maybe a Christmas break who knows. 

I am struggling to find the following answers -
Is it possible to trace who lived at that particular address?
When did she leave Ireland initially? - I cannot find any ship record from around 1912 or 1920 that matches her.
Who was she living with?
Did she marry?
Where did she die?

I have found a few Nolan's in Connecticut any one of a Hanna around the same age but different father. 

Her father would have been Michael Nolan and mother - Johannah Cremins.

I have the following other facts:
Baptism Church Record: Showing as Born Dec 5 1896 - Knightsmountain, Knocknagoshel, Co. Kerry
Birth Register Record - Registered late - showing as 20 Feb 1897
1901 Census - Lived with Grandparents - Patrick & Mary
1911 Census - With Guiney family as Servant - Unconfirmed but not ruled out it being her as is local and matches age.

Thank you for any help

Regards,
Mike

Hello,
Whilst I know that NLI have the records for late 1800s is it possible to see records for around 1917-1923 as trying to search info on my grandfather.  I didnt get very far with irishgenealogy.ie either unfortunately.

Thanks,
Mike.
