If I'm reading the documents correctly it appears he signed up, never saw active duty, was absent from first roll call, about a month after joining put in a claim to say he had been disabled.

No claim was given.

I wonder was his and Alice's a marriage of convenience  ???

Something to satisfy a military requirement.

It might be worth looking for Alice under her maiden name after 1919.

There are notes that he was being called on looking for his birth cert and looking for the address of his wife.

The plot thickens !!!!

Hum, Adam was telling fibs allright.

The military records are for 1918 where he said Alice was his wife and that they had been married 4 years.

We know he didn't marry 'til 1919.

Yup, I'd defo take his parent's name with a pinch of salt for now !

Alleson BTW don't discount the 1916 Canadian Census.

Emmigration years are often wrong, as are ages etc.

The children MIGHT have been his from a prior marriage.

Also, re his parent's names on marriage, they are often wrong due to a LOT of reasons.

Adam could have deliberately given wrong names, he could have been misheard, the clerk may have gotten it wrong.

So, go by his age on his military records and route around for him using a 5 year age variable.

BTW Was there any occupation for him on his military records ?

There is a Margaret Shelly b 1858 prison record 1881.

POB Tighe Street, which wouldn't tie in with your Margaret but POB's are often wrong.

The reason why I think it's worth following up on is that there was a Thomas Shelly at the same address a few years later, a widower, carman.

Again, not sure if it's the same family but worth having a poke about to see if they could tie in.

BTW Did you never get the marriage cert for Margaret & Nicholas ?
