Thanks again for all your help. Everything matches apart from his sisters name. She is listed on Williams army next of kin as Maggie Holmes. I'm assuming she was married to Mr Holmes. Maybe her second name was Margret like her mums and she then took the name Maggie ? Ive checked and check ed and your link is the only William living in Charles Town with a dad called Micheal and both parents had died before he joined the army.

Yes I looked at the link, and her name is Mary Daly and the dates would match up. There is nothing on her 1922 birth certificate to say its a late registration. It says she was born at Rotunda Hospital and her Father is William Daly address 9 Tolka Cottages. It does not say soldier as profession it says Labourer.(May have been to embarrassed to put soldier) So its got to be one way or the other. William Daly is not her real dad or for some reason they registered her then redacted it then re registered her 2 and a half years later. William Daly did have a sister that moved to England (In his Army records he spent the Christmas of 1917 at her house in London) so Im hoping to trace her family through my family tree. Thanks again for all your help

Yes she has a birth certificate that's says January 1922 but all her life she was adamant that was not her birthday, she always said they could not register her at the time ? Never gave a reason and she passed away in 2005 so I can't ask her, but my mum says the same, she was born earlier than 1922 and that's not her real birth date. What happened was her widowed mum met somebody else, and the new husband didn't want to take on my grand mar. She stayed at 9 Tolka cottages with her grand parents until they both passed away, then she came to England to start a new life in the 1940s.
I only first got a copy of here birth certificate 3 years ago, when I needed it to get on the foreign births register. I then looked up her dad William Daly that's named on the 1922 birth certificate and found out he died in 1918 ? Its a strange mystery have you any ideas ?

Thank you for that, and reading the article on VAD Nurses that would fit in with what she was doing at the Hospital. I have William Dalys Army records and its say his mother & father are both dead on his joining up papers, so It looks like he joined up for employment. His home address is given as Barrach st Co Mayo & born in Charles Town Co Mayo. He got to Dublin war hospital on 20th of June 1918 and Left on 29th of September 1918. The family gossip is my great grand mar got pregnant so they had to get married fast, why he was still at the hospital. Sadly 4 weeks after leaving hospital and at the army barracks in England Kent, he died of the flu. So my grand mar never met him. The army sent £23.56 back to Tolka Cottages Jan 1919 and some medals, the medals they refused to take, but there no doubt Patrick Kenny would of had a few round at Fagans on the £23.56

Thank you dathai, that's been a very big help, I now have a last name for Catherine Kenny M Donnel & I did have the name William Daly from my grand mothers birth certificate he was born in Charles town Co Mayo and his father was called Micheal. William Daly joined the British Army in 1916 that would seem a strange thing for an irishman to do ? do you have any ideas why he would of done that ?Thanks again for your help
