Can any of you more knowledgeable chatters find Samuel Whittaker for me. I understand he had served in the royal inniskilling fusiliers about 1919_1920 then served in the harbour police probably stationed in Londonderry. Anything would be helpful.

Samuel Whittaker born 1 Apr.1902 (mother's name Nabbs)- his birth was actually registrered at Plumbridge sub-district which comes under Strabane registration district.

Here's the Whittaker family in 1911- father a shoemaker & ex-soldier, parents married 27 years with 11 children (all still living) so probably lots of relatives for you to trace, get information from, etc.:

Same family in 1901 with more of the children:

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
