It does help.
It's marvelous. Thank you thank you for doing so much work on my behalf.
The generosity of people on this website never ceases to amaze me.
This is definitely him. I recognise the address. I would love the photos please.
Thanks again,

Alamo...I am sure you will be busy at the record office (I spent all yesterday at Warwick Record office and found nothing!) but if you could see if they have the admission registers for Toxteth Park Workhouse (it changed name to Smithdown Rd Institution sometime in 1923). If James Byrne's death is recorded on 24th August 1923, then it could have the date he was admitted too. That would be really helpful.
No worries if you run out of time....I know the feeling!

Hello all and many many thanks for your comments.
I have been looking again and found a RC burial at Ford cemetery for James Byrne September 1923, which seems to fit the bill. The plot number is RD 863.
Does anyone know where the plot owner records are?
Again, many thanks for your help.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Smithdown Road Institution/ Toxteth Park Workhouse

Hello,
My husband’s grandfather, James Byrne, died in the above institution, 126 Smithdown Road, on 24th August 1923. He was 75 years old and died of carcinoma of the sigmoid. His address on the death certificate is 22 Rathbone Street. His death was registered by his daughter Rose.
I believe that the admission registers are kept at the Liverpool Recod Office.
If anyone is going there and could look up when he was admitted and from which address, I would be very very grateful.

Armed Forces / Does anyone recognise the uniform Royal Field Artillery Evan Harries Jones
« on: Saturday 08 December 18 22:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. Does anyone recognise the uniform in this rather fuzzy photo. I think it is a photo of Evan Harries Jones, who initially joined the RAMC  no 35240 in WW1 but later  served with the Royal Field Artillery, where he was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and was awarded the MC and bar.
does anyone have any ideas about this man's uniform?
Many thanks.

World War One / Re: Interpreting Register of Personal Effects WW1
« on: Tuesday 24 July 18 22:38 BST (UK)  »
Thanks all.
His name was Joseph Edwards Pte 11553 King's Own Scottish Borderers. Born Liverpool 1893. (though CWGC seem to think he was born later. On their website they say he was 15. I don't know where they got that from)I haven't found a service record. Is there any way to find out if there was some misdemeanor which resulted in a fine?
Thanks,

World War One / Interpreting Register of Personal Effects WW1
« on: Tuesday 24 July 18 14:49 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
How did my great uncle end u "In debt to the Regiment" on his Effects form.
I have always seen back pay listed there, returned to the next of kin.
He joined the Kings Own Scottish Borderers in July 1913 and was killed at Ypres on 18/11/14.
They wrote to his Aunt, his closest relative to inform her of the debt.
Thanks.
