Andrew Laurance Colhoun/Colquhoun 1883-
« on: Sunday 17 January 21 17:57 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the date and place of death for the above named person.
He was born in 1883 in Donegal.  He joined the RIC in 1906 but joined the North Irish Horse Reg in 1916.  His father was Francis and mother Frances (Ewing).  He rejoined the RIC after the war until 1922.
He married in 1917 to Emily Deakin and their son William A L Colhoun died in 1944.  It mentions his parents on the CWGC site as Andrew and Emily Colhoun of Belfast.
There appears to be no record of either of their deaths and I can't find any information on emmigration.
I have found various photos of him on line including him as a Sergeant in the NIH.  None of the sites includes date or year of death.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Emily Deakin was 23 in the 1911 census.

So this is her birth record in 1887.     MMN Murphy
