Yes that was the one I had found but it would appear that I have to eliminate that one too! Too many Fitzgeralds who are seamen!
Thanks again.

Cork / Re: James Joseph Fitzgerald

Thank you.
I have found the death of James (father) in Carrigaline, living in Crosshaven in 1906. I've just checked the marriage certificate of son James Joseph and it does not say deceased for father but does give father as also being James Joseph. The 1911 census for Bessie has no husband but does not say widow so presumably he was at sea.

Not having any knowledge about Co Cork without googling does Templebrady fit in with James Joseph giving place of birth as Tracton & Minane Bridge? It looks promising with the 1901/1911 census. The marriage gives John - are James & John interchangeable in Ireland?

Yes I have also found these but nothing tallies with the date of birth given on the 1939 register and the navy records. I have his marriage certificate - in Hull, East Yorkshire - which gives his occupation as AB seaman RN and father as James a merchant seaman so this links with the 1911 in Devonport & the navy records. The marriage is Dec 1919 and age given is 28. His death was in 1969 age 77.There is a birth registered in Carrigaline to James & Margaret nee Spillane but that is given as 16 Oct 1893. So is this the same James as the one who gives his date of birth as 14 May 1891/1892? Maybe when we have the release of the 1921 census there will be some clue.

Thank you both.
Yes I have the family on the 1901 census, I think, age 7 so doesn't help with 1891/1892 query. Father James is a Merchant Sailor.
Unable to find his birth on irishgenealogy.ie. but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place! Have found what I think is parents marriage in city of Cork.

Cork / James Joseph Fitzgerald

I have a query over a date of birth of James Joseph Fitzgerald. His navy records give 14 May 1891 & place of birth as Minane Bridge Co Cork. The 1939 register has 14 May 1892. The 1911 census has him in Devonport aged 19 and place of birth as Tracton. I suspect he may have made himself older to join the navy, Please can anyone confirm the date & give any further information on the family?

Thank you. I will look into this possibility.

Some strong similarities between the two. Where is/was Shawlands Academy? I wish I knew where he was educated - nothing known before work & Glasgow School of Art but lived in Cambuslang from birth in 1904 until 1929 when he moved south of the border.

I have established that the cap is velvet and that it was made by Rowan & Co, 104 Argyle Street, Glasgow. I have tried to contact Scotland Rugby News but was unable to upload a picture. I sent an email to ask them for further information but as yet had no reply. I have contacted the University of Glasgow archives, who have responded very quickly (as usual) giving some further ideas including one - Sports Heritage Scotland to whom I have just sent the details. I have also contacted Glasgow City Archives but as yet I have had no response. My initial email that I sent to Allan Glen rugby club remains unanswered.
I would like to thank you all for your suggestions & help. Will let you know if I am successful.
