Sinann,
The other thread here

Hi Mike,

When did he join the Irish Guards?

Heywood

Hi Heywood,

He was enlisted on 6th May 1918.

Sinann,
His Birthday on his discharge document is 7th August 1883.

Please disregard him living in Carhoon in the 1901 census or being related to the Treacys living there as it appears there may not be strong enough links for me to be 100% sure this is the same Thomas Burke.

Thanks,
Mike.

The only thing he seems to be consistent with is that he was born in the first week of August, I don't see one in County Galway in 1883 looks like you need to check each registration district for Galway each year from 1883 to 1885 to see if there is any Thomas with a father Patrick born in August and than follow that child to if he stays in Ireland or not and if his father died before 1918 even than it won't be a guarantee, as the GRO said it is just to common a name.

You can find the districts for Galway here http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/Ireland-civil-registration.html
and of course the births are here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

you may have to spent the £33 for his Irish Guardsman record and hope it gives more information.

Hello

Please could the original poster message me, I know it's an old post. But the similarities between this family and mine are amazing, there must be a link somewhere.

Kind regards
Sam
