Hi Simon  I am interested if same one. all I know is on census1850 is My grt grt grandad John Forrest (Blarney)  and his wife frances ( macroom ) It seems from my english records if correct that they married much later than this 1862 and on this certificate states his father denis Forrest farmer and hers jerimiah connell farmer
 the family always thought john came   from macroom but leant later forrest is not a name known
have been sent quite a bit of interesting history of the forrests in blaney  but have never been able to prove 100%  would like to hear more  kind regards janet

World War One / Dennis Forrest army numbers
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 16:48 BST (UK)  »
I have had lots of help from this site about my grandad in WW1 as no records found presumed burnt
I know he had 2 numbers in WW1 529 Northumberland Fusiliers and 39771 in the Gloucesters  both numbers on medal card
I have just found on FindMyPast some Attestation papers for the Militia  Dennis Forrest 6782 The Rifle Brigade date looks like 1904
Did think might be different person but when i check next of kin  his father and 3 brothers all had the right name  can someone please explain thankyou

hi john  the information came so fast I didnt have much time to think  but my actual question was  about him being called Denis in census but can find no record  of birth or death  sorry if it annoyed you  but was still grateful for help as  all information I have collected on family was destroyed and have had to start again

Thankyou Phil so looks like he was 18 not younger  I remember one story where he and another young soldier ran away and jumped on a boat going from Callcutta to Delhi (or other way round) but they were found and handed over    regards Hazel
