Re: Old Barracks Fermoy, Cork, Ireland.
« on: Saturday 03 May 14 13:32 BST (UK) »
Hi, is it possible to find my grandfathers war records? His name was Thomas Whelan, I think he came from Dublin. He married my grandmother in 1906 in Glanworth, Cork. He was stationed at Fermoy at the time.  I was told he fought in WW1 and he may have been a prisoner of war. Apart from that I know very little. Any help would be much appreciated. Sara.

Hi Sara

Doesn't the marriage certificate give his regiment?

You can also try Ancestry for a service record, 'pension' record or his medal card. Although there is likely to be a number of men with that name on the medal roll.

Hi Ken, thanks for your reply.  I only have a certificate which was taken from the church book by the priest, and gives scant information, only witnesses and couple. Thank you, Sara.

Hi Sara

You should apply for the marriage certificate from the Irish GRO in Roscommon. They only charge €4 for the information on plain paper.

It seems you can apply online now.

Hi Ken, sorry for delay, couldn't seem to get on-line to Rootschat yesterday? Thanks very much for the information, I will get a marriage certificate, might show the information I need.   Thanks again, Sara.
