First off, I'd like to thank all who replied and educated me on the rules regarding what we post. All those suggestions made perfect sense indeed.

Secondly, my query can be put to rest. I have made contact with a member of the clan. To my surprise after over 40 years since we had any contact - we're on track again. The contact came as family member came across this post at RootsChat. So a big THANK YOU to all for your guidance and patience.

I still have a few more folks that I need data on so I will be sure to come back to the source which always shows results. 

Thank you,

BS Beggar

Can you please be more specific in what exactly you would like to find out as it's vague?

Can you also confirm P*** ******* is deceased as RC has a no living persons to be named policy?

Annie

Looking at the post it could be more specific indeed - my apologies.

P**** ******* is the individual I'm attempting to locate there is a good chance he's still alive as he would be about 70 YOA.

I'm confused...

Was ******* a surname or middle name?

Middle name, his birth Registry (not Certificate) has P*** ******* Walsh.

I'm confused...

Was he adopted out by Joseph & Agatha (their legitimate son) or adopted by them?

Adopted BY Joseph and Agatha

Annie, I hope this clears up the picture.

I'm trying to get some information on my Uncle Alfred George (Ginger) Carroll. He was born in Cork City Aug. 8, 1910 to John Carroll and Annie Murphy who lived at 1 Barrett's Lane. This was my moms younger brother and was living in Cork City as far back as the late 40's.

Ginger stayed in Cork and worked in the Irish Post Office in Cork city all his working life. He married a woman Maureen and together they had one son, ^(*). I have no idea where he went or where he might be now. Ginger fathered another son in Cork who from a young age went to live with Ginger and Maureen and Tony. This is about all I have and I was told this by a cousin that has no idea where they ended up. Any Leads will be appreciated.

Frankie-D,
 
Interesting. I have an Uncle that has been most difficult to locate. He was also William Henry Carroll. Here is where some of my facts differ with yours. My William Henry was born August 21, 1895 in Ireland. What is interesting is I've had little or no success locating anything other than the 1911 Census. He had 4 other siblings one of which was my mother. His father was a career Soldier who was retired when he was born. Is it possible he also was casualty of WWI?

Could they be the same? If you are certain of your GGfathers 1891 census data than - I'm still on the hunt. William Henry has been very elusive at best. I have located the where about's of all of his siblings but those who have any recollection of the family then know little or nothing of him. Conscription began in 1917 in Ireland while it was still under British rule. He would have been age 21 making him a prime candidate. The name jumped out at me as I have found very few William Henry Carroll's in my search in Ancestry. Any insight is always welcomed.

John Carroll - my grandfather (my mothers side)

I'm trying to get a valid birth record - here is what I have to date:

Military prior to 1895 - 1901 & 1911 census have him as military pensioner

Married Annie Murphy Jan 22, 1895 noted as widower/soldier (5 children) Record of death was May 27, 1915

Prior marriage to Emily E. Timson  (no date) 1 Child Emily Elisabeth June 19, 1884 Record indicates he was Corporal 84th Regiment. Residing at Barrackton #117 at that time No other record of other children may have died in child birth? No marriage record

Baptismal record located for John Carroll 1 Aug. 1847 St Peter & Paul, Cork
 
This conflicts with British army record s that state Service # 1470 Regiment York and Lancaster Regiment - 65th & 84th Queens (Laois) which as a birth of 1846.



Any help & guidance appreciated -Thank you.
