Hi Ken,
thanks again, your knowledge is phenomenal, he was born 1875, so he wasn't under age, he was married in 1907, and his job is listed as a fireman, firebrigade, he's on 1911 census as a labourer,and a couple of children, that was in April, supposedly he went back in just after the census was done,

Hello,
my question is this, my maternal grt grandad joined the royal irish rifles under an assumed name (patrick doyle) in 1899 and fought in the 2nd boer war and elsewhere, he came clean in 1902, his service number was 6578 I have his certs of education from 1903 with his real name michael byrne and was a lance corporal, but when he left I don't know, I do know he went back in 1911 and fought in ww1 in europe, would he have kept this number or been given another, as i'm beginning to think his files have been lost in ww2,
thank you,
Susan

Hi Sinann, thank you for answering,
I haven't been able to find my grt grandads birth, civil or other wise, and his mother is not mentioned on the wedding cert in 1892, I have tried to over reach on this I know but I didn't know where else to go or what to do next,
My Grt Grandad John Shannon m Mary Ann Reilly, 1901 census has them in Charles St
1911 has them 12, coombe my Grandad is John James, when John married Mary ellen Kelleher they had my Father Thomas and they lived at 9, coombe,
Where do you suggest I go next? Susan
