Dublin / James Walsh
« on: Friday 27 July 12 22:51 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some information about my wife's Grandfather James Walsh who was born on 24/08/1907 in Dublin. All I have to go on are his Attestation papers which were dated 17/02/1941 and in them it states his address as 1 Wood Street, Dublin - his trade as Upholsterer trimmer and his parents (although not named) as Irish.
At the top of the Attestation  certificate it states Eire Recruit, so I would assume he had to go to Belfast to enlist and I believe he was a Territorial at the time but in which regiment I'm not sure.
Where would I find details of his birthplace and names of his parents?
All information gratefully received.

World War Two / Rifle Brigade information required.
« on: Friday 27 July 12 22:06 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find details of my wife's Grandfather who was Irish and joined the Rifle Brigade in 1941. From what I can gather he must have been a Territorial and being from Eire had to go to Belfast to enlist. In his Attestation Papers it states "Eire Recruit" and in the "Corps" section it looks like 11th Battalion Rifle Brigade, but was wondering which regiment he would have been seconded to. I was told he was at Dunkirk, but as that was the year before he enlisted that seems rather dubious.
All information gratefully received.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Birth look-up
« on: Friday 22 July 11 20:38 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the births of (*) and (*) (surnames not sure of at present) who were daughters of a Lilian G Carter who was born in Warrington in December 1912 (Runcorn District Vol8a/Page 369). She married a Cyril Thomas Whitfield in March 1938 (Manchester S district Vol8d/page 296), who subsequently died at Dunkirk in June 1940 and is buried in a Military graveyard in Nord De Calais. She remarries a Kenneth Wray (a record of which I cannot find), but I'm not sure if the two daughters were of the Whitfield or Wray marriage. They would have been born in Manchester I assume between 1939 to 1950.
All information gratefully received.

Occupation Interests / Police Constable
« on: Friday 08 July 11 20:26 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering where I could trace records of an Abel Seed b 0ctober 1852 in Warrington. He is listed in the 1881 census as living at 13 Bridgewater Street, Warrington with his wife Elizabeth and children William and Esther and his profession/trade is listed as Police Constable. Is there somewhere I can trace his record in the constabulary?
Thanking you in anticipation.
