Thanks Jim1. AllanUK said this Samuel was married in 1915. Do you know if the records gave an actual date?

World War One / Samuel Lavery Labour Corp.
« on: Thursday 27 February 25 21:01 GMT (UK) »
I was wondering if some with access to Fold3 could possibly access a pension or any other record for Samuel. The hint was on my ancestry tree.
Samuel Lavery
Labour Corp.
Service no. 108871
Discharged 23/12/1919
Samuel was my Gt.Gt.Uncle born 1864 in Ballycessy Co.Antrim. I found his birth registration and then nothing until 1911 Irish census when he was residing at 136 Argyle Street, Belfast with his brother and sister-in-law Joseph and Jane Anna Lavery. He was still at this address in 1912 when he signed the Ulster Convenant.
It would be great if this was his war record which could perhaps unearth a few more hints about him.
Many thanks,
Geraldine

Thank you so much for posting the link. I really appreciate it. Sadly I don’t think the William Beckett mentioned is my Gt.Grandfather. Once again thank you.

Hi, I have a subscription to Ancestry Worldwide, unfortunately it does not include access to Newspapers.com
A hint has recently appeared on my tree in regards to a newspaper article and there is a possibility it may be about my great Grandfather.
Sorry I can’t post the link but here are the details
Newpapers.com (Canada)
William Beckett
6 August 1902. The News & Alberta Irrigationist
Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Topic: Accident or Emergency Incident
(William worked with explosives)
I would be very grateful if anyone could relate what the article was about.
Many thanks

Antrim / Re: Searching for Gt.Uncle Alexander Quinn

Thank you so much Eileen for your time and trouble. It’s greatly appreciated. T the records have give me food for thought. I have found some of the Quinn siblings to be quite economical and inventive when stating their DOB and marital status, so the Alexander you found fits the bill in that regard lol.

Antrim / Searching for Gt.Uncle Alexander Quinn
« on: Saturday 02 December 23 14:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi, hoping some forum members could point me in the direction regarding my paternal great uncle
Alexander Quinn
B. 28th July, 1884
Lisdoart, Aughnacloy, Co.Tyrone.
Parents: James Quinn and Margaret Ferris
When James Quinn died 24th December 1896, Margaret and some of her sons moved to Belfast. Alexander , his mother and 5 of his siblings appear in the 1901 census of Ireland. They were residing at 38 Leoville Street, Belfast.
After this the trail for Alexander goes cold. Some hints on Ancestry suggest Alexander married and died in Scotland . The suggested spouse was Barbara Bartlett. I checked this on Scotlands People and have discounted it.
I’m sorry I cannot add links to this post (technically challenged).
Hoping for some suggestions, thanking you all in advance.
