Hi KGarrad.

Thanks for your swift reply, yes I'm aware of the loss of records it's just that I'm new to this and I thought I might be missing something in my search. There is a story in this search which includes Thomas's brother Gerald who served in the 8th Hussars, both survived the war.

Regards

Hi all
I trying to find additional information on Thomas Fitzgerald d.o.b. 7/10/1894, 4th Hussars (9580)- M.G.C. (52551). I found his medal index card but can't find anything else. I'm trying to find where he came from in Dublin.

Thanks in advance

hello again, I have followed up on the advise I received re Sgt. Byrne. I have his death cert and it states he died from what appears a heart attack at home and is recorded as an army pensioner. I also have his daughters (my aunt) birth cert and he is recorded as an ex soldier, 1908. Trying to figure out how he is recorded as a Casualtie of WW1 and buried in Grangegorman Military Cemetery (CWGC)

I can't locate him in the 1901/1911 Irish Census but there is a Private John Byrne born Dublin in the 1901 UK census, Topsham Artillery Barracks. The connection I make here is that Clonmel Barracks was a base for the Royal Field Artillery and he lived around the corner from it in King St at the time of the birth of his daughter. ???

Morning Newbury, thanks for your help. That may explain the lack of medals but I can find no service info whatsoever, he must have been in service for some time to reach the rank of sgt.

Thanks for you swift reply I only signed up 10 minutes ago. I have tried Findmypast and I think every other site I can think of including National Archives. I also found info on Casualties of WW1, no cause of death other than died at home. He was born in Dublin in 1881, I also have his marrage cert in Clonmel 1906, his address in Military Barracks and his occupation in listed as a clerk.

thanks again K :)

HELP. Trying to find any extra info on Sgt John Byrne 4th RDF. Born 1881 in Dublin and signed up in Dublun.Died at home 7/6/1915 buried in Grangegorman Military Cemetry. I can't find anything through Ancestry i.e Medal Cards/Pension etc. His widow went onto to marry my Granda, so if it wasn't for Sgt Byrne I wouldn't be typing this.
