The Great Padden Mystery

Do you have to do that? I wouldn’t either.

I think the other Patrick’s family (the one with mother Anne and who died in WW1) lived in Carn whereas yours was in Devlane, Clogher.
We had family there

Didn't know you had to pay to make contact, that's a pity.

A 24 yr old Delia Padden died in the Mayo County Home 1927 she was from Belmullett unfortunately  the informant was not a family relative

Even more unlikely is the tree on Ancestry which suggests that the Patrick Padden who was killed in 1915 was born in 1839 !

I signed up for Geni in 2009. I have never subscribed but I found just now that I was able to send a message to the Patrick Padden tree owner, which I have done.

CWGC site does have Belmullet as residence for Patrick, the Connaught Ranger, of course.
Perhaps the sailor enlisted in the army later.

I didn't find anything on there about his origin. Did I miss something?
