Here is a previous thread - but it is not very helpful 
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=832865.

Please would you give the information you have with regard to:
John Madden - where born, residence etc
James Madden being John’s father etc
How do you know the mother was Elizabeth Moore?

Were the family Catholic as previous thread states.

Hi Heywood,

I do appologise I have looked at the previous thread and I must have taken my lead from the response.

What I have collated is as follows.

James was a fringe manufacturer operating out of 11 Aston quays quay Dublin. Between 1801-1825 working between Dublin & Manchester trade button trimming warehouse/fringe warehouse.

I don’t have much on his son John just that he was married 1795 to Sarah ?
DOB 1775

I have no idea if they were catholic

I have checked the full GRO entry for the 1951 death in case it was a mistranscription but it's definitely Drummond.

I see a tree on Ancestry also has his death as 1951

Over 60% of WW1 service records were burnt during the WW2 blitz

There is no entry on the Medal Roll index for a David D Oliver

I don't think the medal rolls for the Queen's Korea Medal have been published. How sure are you that he might have gone to Korea? Only 14,198 British servicemen went as part of the UN contingent, at a time when the Army alone was 364,000 strong, so fewer than 4% served in Korea.
Your best bet is to get his service documents from the MOD and then once you have his Army number, apply to the MOD Medal Office Historical Section to see if he was awarded the Korea Medal. The number, rank, name, initials and regiment of every recipient was engraved around the edge of the medal.
