Five Joseph Duffys listed in CWGC but none of the details match your post.

Where did you get information that "Thomas duffy and Joseph duffy ofthe 2nd battalion royal Dublin fusiliers are related  they both died the same day in Flanders"

If you search CWGC site for 'Duffy' and only put in 'Royal Dublin' as Regiment there are 22 results you can view for more details.

You have numerous topics on your grandfather, William Duffy (I soon lost count of how many) but this topic gives his parents as Thomas and Margaret-

No need to keep starting new topics as you can simply add to an earlier one and it also helps to give the information you already know.

William had a few brothers Thomas John and Joseph one died and lied about his age can only imagine it would be Joseph. 7728 Dublin dis 2nd battalion died 26 April 1915

Joseph Duffy 7728 died from wounds (GS abdomen) in a German Field Hospital (Number 12 at Lendelede) on 10 May 1915. Buried at Lendelede. 

Father was John, sister Mary, brother Owen, all in Dublin

Thanks for that. I seen another report that he was mistakenly listed as dead but he returned home after the war.  Joseph had a sister Mary and a brother John in my grandfathers family. I wonder if he lied about his age and parents’ just a family story that my grandfathers brother died he lies about his age

His sister Mary gives her address as 117 Upper Abbey Street Dublin
This appears to be her in 1911 born Dublin

Note Bridget Gleeson, witness to Mary's statement and also living at 117 Upper Abbey St in 1911.
