My Father says he was laughing when he was shot that's why the Bullet passed through his cheek, not sure if this was a family tale. Wouldn't  have thought there was much to laugh at in the Trenches.

My Father adds Hugh McAulay, Hugh Aloysius father had a scar on his cheek where a bullet had passed through his mouth and out of his cheek Maggie McGee was of course Catherine's Great Aunt not her Aunt. I've tried to attach the photo of Hugh with Maggie and twins

Hi Catherine, I guess that makes us Cousins of sorts My father is Kenneth Hugh Stephenson the son of Mary McCauley and Albert Stephenson My father is about the same age as Hugh he is 90 now. they lived opposite each other in Fenham as children. Your grandmother was Rose Burns they married in 1896 in Coatbridge Scotland. I believe that Hugh and Rose split up in later years but am unsure of the details. The last photo of old Hugh I have is at my parents wedding in 1949. I also have one of him holding your aunt Maggies twin grandchildren.

Hi Thanks for that Son and Daughter were Hugh and Joyce cousins of my father. rose was buried at Ashburton RC cemetery in Newcastle I've searched the stones but could find no memorial. The death of Hugh would have been around 1951 but I don't think he had a middle name it could be just a clerical error but then so would the birth date be.
Regards John

Hi Hugh was my great grand father he was alive in 1949 I have a photo of him at my parents wedding he seperated from Rose before the 2nd war this is what might be causing problems in tracing him.

Hi Your Great uncle Hugh McAuley was the brother of my grandmother Mary McAuley/ Stephenson. The families lived opposite each other in Fenham Newcastle Hugh married Maggie Blaylock I think. Do you know when His father Hugh died and Rose his mother I believe they seperated before the war, I have a photo of old Hugh at my parents wedding. I have been trying to trace the family back to Ireland but can only get as far as John and Margarets wedding in Belfast.

Lanarkshire / Re: Birth records from Coatbridge

Hi,I'm looking for information on John and Margaret McAuley, My great gradfather was Hugh McAuley brother of Patrick. Is it possible to get wedding certificates from Ireland? Does anyone know where abouts in Ireland they come from. Hugh Married Rose Burns also from Ireland in Coatbridge they settled in Newcastle around the time of the Great war. I can find Hugh and Rose in the 1911 census but no other members of the family ie John Margaret etc.
