Thomas KING, Dunaree, Co Cavan b 1890 d 1917
Royal Dublin Fusiliers ( LaterR MGC )
Any additional information would be great.

What sort of 'additional information' are you looking for?
If it's details of his military career I'll move this to World War One board.
If it's family information- have you his birth certificate? checked 1901 and 1911 census? etc.
Meanwhile, If you could try not to type in all capitals, that would be much appreciated - it looks like you are shouting at us! :)

Thanks, moving his picture is fine by me, He is my great uncle and I have a fair amount of information on him, what I would like is any information on the rest of his family, mother Catherine, father Mathew, brother Mathew ( my gfather) brother Patrick, sister Kate and brother James. I have very little on all of them.
Thanks Again

If you are looking for family details then this thread doesn't need to be moved.
CWGC database lists Thomas King as "Son of Mrs. Catherine King, of Dunaree, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan."

Here's the King family in 1901 census- father Mathew? seems to have died before 1901:

Thanks for the information, if you think I would learn more about his military life then please move his picture to WW1 area. Thanks again.

The picture can't be moved on it's own- this whole thread is with it. If you'd like military details best to post on World War One board but please include a link to this thread to prevent people duplicating searches already done.

Greetings from Cavan. Cavan County Council are currently compiling a book on Cavan casualties in WW1. If you click on the following: http://www.cavancoco.ie/cavanweb/publish/domain/cavancoco/Default.aspx?StructureID_str=388
Then click on the roll of honour database you will see Thomas King is listed. Perhaps you would like to get in touch with Angie Sutherland who is compiling the information and maybe she would be interested in having the photo of Thomas, that is if it has not already gone to print as it's due to be launched early next year. Regards, Les.
