Lanarkshire / Re: LOOK UP - Lanarkshire - James Molloy Born 07.01.1907
« on: Sunday 27 September 15 13:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi ev,

Thanks for the response, parents names are James Molloy & Catherine Brannan

The 1911 census shows them having had 5 children at that time with only two surviving. I have obtained two of the three death certificates of children who didn't survive and located where buried. The remaining child, James, I can't establish the date and cause of death although looking at census he definitely died young.

The information will help me complete the final piece of information on descendants.

Lanarkshire / LOOK UP - Lanarkshire - James Molloy Born 07.01.1907
« on: Sunday 27 September 15 09:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi Forum,

I have been trying to trace what happened to one of my Great Grandparents children. I have traced the remaining family members.

James Molloy - Born 07.01.1907 in Kilsyth and baptised there. The family moved to Calderbank, Airdrie before 1910. He is not recorded on 1911 census and I have not managed to come across a death certificate for him when I have searched.

Any help in completing this final piece of my research would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Paul

Thanks Shellyesq,

This is definitely the man I have been looking for and also narrows down his military details, I am not very knowledgeable on the copyright rules, thanks for removing.

I believe the soldier to be - James O'Neill Private, U.S. Army 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Division
Entered the Service From: Massachusetts, Date of Death: October 06, 1918

There is only one other option  James O'Neill Private, U.S. Army 316th Infantry Regiment, 79th Division, Entered the Service From: Pennsylvania , Date of Death: September 26, 1918

Due to James landing in Boston and sister living in Brighton, I would say Massachusetts would be the best option.

If anyone can help establish his army number through any resources this would allow me to make a record request or look up.
Kind regards, Paul

United States of America / James O'Neill - Kilsyth Soldier served in US Army - WW1

Hello Folks,
I have over the past twelve months been researching the war dead from a war memorial on a voluntary basis. I have almost identified all the soldiers and spent countless hours searching all the Commonwealth services to find the soldier named - James O'Neill.
Alas, a breakthrough when I have came across a draft card for the man, his date of birth is out by one year, however, the day and month are exact, too much of a coincidence, only one other James O'Neill born years earlier in Kilsyth.
If anyone is able to give some advice on how to obtain a copy of the soldiers record or other information while he was in the US it would be appreciated. I have attached a copy of his draft card.
Many thanks - Paul

Waterford / Re: James Molloy, Tramore Co. Waterford look up

Thanks for taking the time to look at Noel.

Thinks it's a definite that James Molloy wasn't born in Co Waterford in the year 1881

Waterford / James Molloy, Tramore Co. Waterford look up

Hello folks, I am trying to establish if my Great Grandfather was born Tramore, Co.Waterford.

I had made contact with the Waterford Heritage Services who conducted a search for a fee and response was that he was not, so this is more of an attempt to clarify (at no cost....  ::))

He is listed in Irish Casualties of War as 14308 Pvt James Molloy - 1st Bn Royal Scots Fusiliers being born, Tramore Co Waterford. I have established that he was born 1881 through census records and marriage certificate, I am confident about his year of birth.

Any information appreciated

Thanks Carole - I have checked out James McGrandles you have listed - he did enlist in Canada 27/05/15 with service number 441040, however he was born in Rothesay a year earlier. I also had a medal card for a James McGrindle and followed that with the service numbers but no link, looks like these guys survived  :D

Maybe the next one will get a result
