Dublin / Re: Which father?
« on: Thursday 29 August 13 00:34 BST (UK) »
myluck! Hi. Wow, some great info there, which has prompted me to dig out my laptop for more info.
James Ernest was my grandfather, (sorry, I got that wrong). James CHESTER is my gr grandfather and was a member of the Lancashire Fusiliers Service number: 9360, (now confirmed as not your guy), where I understand he achieved the rank of acting RSM on 20/04/1919 and was later discharged as RSM. He married Mary Ann. They lived at Bolton Rd, Bury.
I think her Mary Ann's maiden name was Webb. Mary Ann and James Chester had four children, three of whom died of consumption. James Ernest is my grandfather DOB 30/04/1903. Born in Aldershot, England. GrGrandfather was advised by his doctor to take James Ernest to a more temperate climate as he was quite a sickly child. I believe they moved after the war,possibly 1920. They moved to Australia.
James Ernest married Molly ? (can't lay my hands on the surname atm). He worked in an area of essential supply during the second world war (for a petroleum company), and as such was not a soldier himself. They had five children. James, Patricia, Christopher, Colleen and Mark. Patricia, Christopher and Colleen are deceased. James Terrence Brophy is my father. DOB: 07/11/1941
Any suggestions on what to search and where to search next would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Jo-anna
