World War One / Two KIAs same number
« on: Tuesday 29 January 19 11:53 GMT (UK) »
Whilst researching something entirely different , I came across a mention of Acting Corporal 10576 Anthony Ashton , 8th Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers killed in action 29th April 1916. He is commemorated on the Loos Memorial.
I have a relative , Private 10576 Thomas Baird, 2nd Seaforth Highlanders killed in action 14th October 1916 .He is buried in Serre Road #2 Cemetery.
My relative had this number pre outbreak of war as he was a regular soldier so it could not have been issued to him after the death od Corporal Ashton.
Would appreciate an explanation please.

Australia / Robert Buchanan Master Mariner
« on: Thursday 20 April 17 14:11 BST (UK) »
This is an extremely long shot but here goes.
An old friend of mine in his 80's here in Glasgow called James Stevenson is wondering if his old pal Robert Buchanan from Glasgow , probably aged about 86 is still on the go. He emigrated to Australia with his family.
Last known whereabouts was Glasgow in 1958 when Robert Buchanan was studying in Glasgow for his Ship Masters Certificate of Competency.
Any information more than greatly appreciated.

Cork / Michael Vaughan and Mary Hagerty in County Cork
« on: Tuesday 25 October 16 13:07 BST (UK) »
There is a record of a baptism for Patrick Vaughan in 1845 son of Michael Vaughan and Mary Hagerty in the parish of Kilmurry in County Cork. I am researching a brother of Patrick called Denis Vaughan, born in Ireland, who married an Annie O'Malley in Glasgow , Scotland in 1868.
Any information on Michael Vaughan and Mary Hagerty or the birthplace in Ireland of Denis Vaughan would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for any info on an Annie O'Malley born circa 1848 in "Ireland" , possibly County Mayo by her name. She was the daughter of Andrew O'Malley and Catherine McLauchlan . She married a Denis Vaughan(also born in Ireland) , a shipyard worker, in Anderston,Glasgow in 1868 and she died in Glasgow in 1895.
They had seven children all born in Glasgow.
Any leads on her family in Ireland would be greatly appreciated also any info on her husbands family . His parents were Michael Vaughan and Mary Haggarty.

United States of America / Drafted aged 61
« on: Tuesday 05 January 16 11:12 GMT (UK) »
I have recently discovered a draft card issued in 1942 for a man born in Scotland in 1881.
James Chapman Gardiner born in New Monklands, Scotland and living in the United States when the draft card was issued. Wasn't he a bit old to be drafted? Possible occupation Coal Miner
Any assistance appreciated.
Many thanks,
