World War One / Re: Great Grandad Medal Card
« on: Saturday 05 October 24 07:54 BST (UK) »
According to the Long, Long Trail [Great War Forum] the 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers was at Dover in August 1914 and then moved to Cromer and soon afterward to Drayton in Norfolk. The main body landed at Le Havre on the 22nd August 1914, so your man seems to have been a later arrival.

The qualifying date of 22nd September 1914 would be the date that he landed in France.

The Common Room / Re: Roman Catholic baptisms. Was proof of marriage of parents needed?
« on: Thursday 19 September 24 08:09 BST (UK) »
Assuming that they had married in a Catholic church then any record of such a marriage might be difficult to find as not all Catholic church records are in the public domain. As Liverpool drew in people from Ireland and the North-West and beyond as it grew at that time, the place of any such marriage becomes even more problematic. The, as now, it was customary to marry at the bride's church, so that is where I would start, but you probably have already gone down that road.

Hi,
I have been doing a little more digging and found this at the National Archives, which might be relevant:
The National Archives' catalogue
IR - Records of the Boards of Stamps, Taxes, Excise, Stamps and Taxes, and Inland Revenue
Division within IR - Legacy Duty: Succession Duty and Estate Duty records
IR 26 - Board of Inland Revenue and predecessors: Estate Duty Office and predecessors: Registers of Legacy Duty, Succession Duty and Estate Duty
Subseries within IR 26 - Country Courts
Sub subseries within IR 26 - Abstracts of Administrations and Probates of Wills
IR 26/312 - Will and administration register: Diocese of CHESTER: Deaneries Amounderness: entry numbers Wills 1-214, Administrations 657-736. Copeland:...
Entry:
Amounderness
Date of Administration and Sum Sworn to:
1797
21st April
Estate £200
665 [number of entry]
Name and Description of the Intestate:
William Swarbrick of Pilling in the County of Lancaster, Yeoman.
Name and Place of Abode, with the degree of kindred of the Administrator or Administratrix:
Margaret Wife of Rich. Redman of Rawcliffe in this County, natural and lawful sister of the Deceased.
Not immediately clear where this fits, but there was a definite connection between the Swarbrick and Redman families.
