World War Two / Re: TA info about 4th Bn. King’s Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster)

Thank you so much.
I see that one of you specialises in Co. Cavan! A young Joseph was sent age 16 straight from St Patrick’s Industrial School in Belfast to a John Bannon who had a farm in Ballyconnell in County Cavan. Any idea how I can gain info on that? It would have been around 1926

We have possible records that Joseph Devlin born 25 Nov 1910 in Newry, was in Barrow-in-Furness around 1930. we know he was there in 1938/39 but new evidence points to him being there as early as 1930. can anyone help collaborate this by confirming his residence in or around Barrow-in-Furness in the early 1930s? thank you very much indeed.

World War Two / TA info about 4th Bn. King’s Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster)

Im assisting a lovely gentleman trying to trace his grandfather Joseph P Devlin. Joseph was born 25th November 1910 in Newry, Northern Ireland. Joseph served in the TA and was an ARP Warden in Barrow-in-Furness before signing up for the Royal Artillery in 1939/1940. It is the TA part of his life story he is trying to find. There is some evidence to say Joseph was in the TA in the King's Own Royal Regiment. Can anyone help piece this part of the story together? Thank you in advance. The reason I want to help this man find his grandfather is because he is a wonderful human being who has raised millions for charity. helped countless people and asked for nothing in return. I want to do this for him. Thank you
