I saw a newspaper snippet yesterday, not realising that Charles was so young.

heywood and dathai, thanks so much for all the additional information. It will take me a while to digest it all and slot it into the overall picture, but I want to 'get down on paper' the questions and answers that are in my head at the minute.
The Charles Liddy who died in Belfast in 1889 was from the earlier generation and was in fact the father of the Charles Liddy who died in Dublin in 1885.
Can't explain why Annie was born in Dublin in 1879(obviously after the family moved to Dublin) but Charles was born in Belfast in 1881!
Kathleen (Kash) Liddy who was born in 1899 and lived well into her 90s(and who I knew well) talked about losing someone called James Liddy  who was very close to her in WW1. There was a James Liddy from Dublin(but born in Belfast) who died in 1916 serving with the Royal Dublin Fusilliers. Could this James Liddy have been the son of Charles and Mary Jane and would therefore have been a full cousin of Kash?
heywood , is there any chance you could reproduce the anniversary notice from Mary Jane for Charles and John Joseph? 
Thanks again to you both for all your help.
Paul.

Guys, I can't thank you enough for all your help. Kiltaglassan, thanks for posting the anniversary notice. That poor woman , she lost her 35 year old husband and 14 year old son within 48 hours!
Heywood, thanks for the register of soldier's effects, which initially showed that all the recipients had forenames consistent with James' siblings and dathai for proving conclusively that Annie Ellis and Mary  J O'Shea were sisters of James. I will now ascertain how to get the CWGC record for James, which has next to no information, updated with the relevant family details. It is the least I can do.
Thanks again to all who contributed.
Paul
