Apologies for the mis-spelling of familysearch - can't get used to the keyboard on this tablet computer

Thank you very much for this link. I hadn't seen this particular familysesrch record! I had only seen the record for O'Hayre on familysesrch and on Ancestry but, as you say, this entry looks much more like a double barrelled name for Thomas. I think I will keep this record as a 'definite maybe' for the time being.
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Milliepede for the suggestions I have tried various combinations of names for his parents' marriage in the past without success, but you have prompted me to look again! If the baptism is the one I am looking for then Thomas would definitely have been a baby as I know from his 2nd marriage cert. and his death cert. that he was born 1790.
Best wishes

Warwickshire / Thomas FARR baptism query, Foleshill
« on: Monday 14 October 13 11:19 BST (UK) »
I have a query regarding a possible baptism for my 4 x great grandfather, Thomas Farr/Fare/Fayer. I know from later census data and other sources relating to the time when he was living in Cornwall after leaving the Royal Marines, that he was born c.1790 in Coventry and that his father was a miner called Thomas Farr.
The only possible baptism I have been able to find for him is in Foleshill (which I understand is near to Coventry?). However, the parish register shows the baptism of Thomas Farr, son to Thomas O'Hayre and Hannah O'Hayre. Am I looking at a middle name here (none of the other baptism entries on the page show middle names) or could this be the Thomas Farr I'm looking for? If so, why would he have a different name from his parents? Any help much appreciated

Thank you Stephen - that is very kind of you. Email on its way to you
You're right about the date being earlier as according to the newspaper cutting I have Stephen McDonald was awarded the MM for gallantry near Wieltje on July 31st.

World War One / War diary 1917 query
« on: Wednesday 19 September 12 02:06 BST (UK) »
Would someone be able to tell me if/where it is possible to view a war diary for the King's Liverpool Regiment please? The reference I have is 1/9 KLR War Diary 24/9/1917 which evidently mentions the Military Medal awarded to my great uncle, Stephen McDonald and my source is the CWGC entry for Stephen.
Many thanks
Dorothy
