Armed Forces / Details - Pensioner of Leinster Regiment
« on: Saturday 22 December 18 14:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm looking to find more details about my great grandfather James Quirke from Tralee.  On the 1911 census he was noted as being 27 years old and a pensioner of the Leinster Regiment. I know that he reenlisted during WW1 and was sent to France. He survived the war and had 13 children. I have his service number for this period but the number does not bring up any details for his prior army service.
Does anyone know where I could look to find his war record for his first service with the Leinster Regiment? He is not on the 1901 census, which makes me think he was possibly abroad with the army.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nickie,

We were in touch many years ago as we were both chasing details regarding Michael Ferriter and Anne Quirke (my great, great grandparents).  I have just started to pick this thread up again and I was wondering if you managed to get any more information on them?

I would love to hear from you. 

Best wishes and Merry Christmas,

Hi,

Yes, I believe my great grandmother was born Anne Margaret Ferriter in Tralee on 17.06.1890

From www.irishgenealogy.ie I have also found that:

Anne Margaret Ferriter's mother, Anne Quirk(e) was born 08.10.1859.  She married Michael Ferriter in Tralee on 05.03.1878.

Anne Quirke's parents were Jeremiah Quirk(e) (born c. 1841) and Helen (Ellen) Callaghan (born c. 1843).

Jeremiah and Ellen were married on 19.10.1858 in Tralee and from their wedding record, I know that his father was John Quirk(e) and her father was James Callaghan. 

Regarding Michael Ferriter, all I know is that from his wedding record, his own father was also called Michael Ferriter.

Can you add any more to this?

Thanks, Kathleen

Hi Nickie,

I'm new to the site and came across your link as I'm doing my only family research and we seem to be investigating the same people!

From what I've found using the internet:

Jeremiah Quirke and Ellen Callaghan were my great, great, great grandparents

Their daughter was Anne Quirke who married Michael Ferriter - my great, great grandparents (on the 1901 census living in Tralee with her father Jeremiah)

Their daughter Annie Ferriter married James Quirke (a possible first cousin  :-\ ) who were my great grandparents (on the 1911 census living in Tralee).

Their son James Quirke (1916) married Mary Garlinge - my grandparents.

It would be great if you could let me know if you've managed to unearth any more details since your last link.  I'm particularly looking for any details on my great grandfather James Quirke as I can't seem to find any information about him anywhere. 


Thanks, Kathleen
