Tom
Where would I search if he had died in some other theatre of war at around that time....India? or South Africa?

He is not listed in the CWGC for ww1. Perhaps his name is spelled differently?

Tom
Thanks for your help anyway.  There is a mystery to be solved here somewhere!

Hi Tom,

Where might I find WW1 Irish regiment casualty lists by county?

Regards

Such a list does not exist. Soldiers Died in the Great War may be the way forward for you. Its for sale by Naval and Military Press and is a searchable CD Rom.

Tom,

Sorry, I meant to say casualty lists of wounded (not killed) -- the county breakdown is not critical.

The Freemans journal had lots of casualties as did each County newspaper. That's where you should start. There is also a topic on the WW1 forum(http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php) specifically for casualty lists. Its where lads who find them post them for anyone who is interested.
 If your query is where are these lists kept and are they saved by county? I have no idea where the original lists are now, sorry
