Hi again.....
I'm having a hard time convincing an interested party that Private William Keogh did, in fact, die in the military hospital in Queenstown, (Cork). For some reason, my interested party is convinced that Private Keogh died as a result of throwing himself in front of a train,and that it was all a huge cover up by the military.... Could there be any truth in what he claims? The plot thickens.....  :o

Confused.com! ???
@ LJReb123...Can you point me in the direction of your information please? i seem to be going around in circles ( or rather battalions) Lol. Please forgive my ignorance....
I have been able to locate William (and his family) as a 1 yr old on the 1901 census, but can't find him on the 1911 census.....I have, however, found another William Keogh, aged 12 yrs, living in Maryborough on the 1911 census but belonging to a different family of Keoghs. Is this another William Keogh who joins up?

Thanks to all for help so far...
I have read somewhere that the 4th Bn served mainly in England, Ireland and Scotland, suggesting that this Bn didn't see action in 1914-18 war. Could this be correct?

I'm researching Private William Keogh, 6106, 4th Bn, Royal Irish Regiment.
I know that he died 5th October, 1917, aged 17 yrs.
Any information about where he enlisted, served etc would be a great help.
Thanks in advance....

Australia / Re: Birth look up please

Cando.....I have been back over his attestation papers to see if i have missed something there.
i have searched for a marriage pre 1939 enlistment in the name of Frank King and Leslie Herbert Quigley (and all possible variations of names!) via Ancestry.com ??? ??? ???
Interestingly, i have noticed that since finding out about the alias name being used, the trees containing him as Leslie Herbert Quigley have gone from public to private!!!  The plot thickens! lol  ;D
I welcome any help, no matter where it brings me. 8)

Just had a quick look at the 2 marriage certs for Leslie Herbert Quigley....
The 1st to Mildred Rowlands in 1944...Les states that his Father is called Herbert Quigley ( a deceased steeplejack)
In the 2nd marriage  to Collette Walton, Les states that his father is called William Quigley (a deceased soldier)
I can't see that he would have used his alias of Frank King to marry in Australia before joining up in 1939.  Also i can't see that he used his given name of Leslie Herbert Quigley to marry pre 1939 in Australia.

Well! Who knew that Les (Aka Frank King) was such a dark horse?  :o   
I was interested in the idea that he already had a wife in Australia before he enlisted with the alias of  Frank King. 
Have you found the document (s) to prove that ?  Or is this hear-say?  ???
