Thank you GrahamSimons  :) I haven't seen those photos before, they are fantastic.

His name is Thomas Kiely. He died 7th Dec 1915 and his death was registered in Ireland. His age is listed as 36 (however I think this is wrong)
He served on the HMS Orbita Royals Naval reserve, 2221C Dev
His rank is SMN

Thank you all for interest/help :)

Thank you for this, I got very excited. However, no info on either memorial site or war medals.
What could this mean? Maybe he died of natural causes and was not entitled?

Many Thanks  :)

Hi

I have found my gt grandfathers death on the WW1 graves roll, he was a merchant Navy seaman from Southern Ireland. He died in 1915.

Listed as;
"Killed or Died by means other than disease, accident, or Enemy Action"
Location of grave:-     Not recorded
Cemetery Address:-   Body not recovered for Burial

I was wondering if anyone would know if there would be a cenotaph with his name on it? Or if you had to die in action? Also, would he have received any medals?

Thanks for any help on this matter.

Waterford / Power Birth(s) Look up post 1918 Newtown Tramore
« on: Tuesday 13 March 12 23:36 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the births of My Grandfathers siblings of Cliff Road, Newtown Tramore. I believe his mother probably remarried 1919 Catherine Kiely to Edward Power. I would like the names/years of her (two?) children known to me as Bridget (F) and Tucker (M).

All help appreciated as I don't know where to start...there are so many Bridget power births around this time.

Thanks in advance

Hi All

I am searching for a J' Keily waterford who is (half?) brother to Edward Coffey and had a sister called Bridget (Kiely?) who may have lived in London for some time. There mother Katie lived outside Tramore (Newtown? Westtown?) and may have later married again and had another son.
Edward Coffey was known as 'Ted' and my information is that J' Kiely may have had a son 'Ned' who my mother vaguely remembers visiting in the early 1950s.
Does this information fit with the information you have? Or am I on a wild goose chase?

Many thanks
