That’s what I am wondering Manchester or Liverpool and it’s just out of curiosity that’s all.

Hi Heywood Would it be possible post i me the 1921 census detail that shows Edward and Mary Keaney at Garnett Avenue. L4.  No mention of Edward living or working in Manchester in past conversations with family. He came straight from Ireland to Liverpool.
Cheers Brian

Brian the Ancestry and Findmypast links are there for both the 1911 and 1921 census. If you don't have a sub to one or the other can perhaps access via a local library, posting images of the 1921 is not permitted. The address is on the cover sheet only, not also on the household schedule per 1911.
Widow Mrs Lambert & 4 children + 3 Saunders visitors at the same address, 14 Garnett Avenue, are the next image. I imagine that will match the birth cert image when you access.

Edward Keaney, Husband, Male, 31yrs 3 mths, Married, born Co. Leitrim, Kiltyclogher; Public Bar Assistant, employed by Peter Walker & Sons Brewer & Spirit Merchants of 331 Westminister Road, Kirkdale, Liverpool. No children under 16.
Mary Anne Keaney, Wife, Female, 28yrs 5 mths, Married, born Co. Leitrim, Kiltyclogher; Home Duties.

Think your family info is incorrect, a/a is not at family home or elsewhere in Ireland on the 1911 census. I'm confident that is him in Manchester. He either went home just to marry or had gone there following Discharge WW1 18 Feb 1920. He made a pension claim [neither Heywood or I can see the images as needs a sub fo ForcesWarRecords or Fold3] so perhaps suffered some effects, but did not did not get issued a Silver War Badge for injury preventing service during the war. At some stage he was admitted to No.31 Casualty Clearing Station that could have been for anything. However CCS 31 was in Salonica and that was where he earned his MM.

Agree 1911 is Kenney (per reply 16) but the entry was completed by his employer John Roy who won't have asked him how he spelt it.
The chances of 2 Edwards with similar surname, aged the same, born the same place, and both with the same trade are slim.
If you research further back in Ireland you will have to be openminded about surnames - written by registers and priests of verbally stated information. Townland spellings will also vary. Edwards parents were literate but others born 1840-60 weren't. I've seen siblings in their 20's sign their surnames different 1901/1911.

The 1915 (and earlier 1914) Stars were awarded to the men who served in the earlier initial years of the War, in addition to the standard British War & Victory medals. The Trio nicknamed "Pip Squeak & Wilfred". Over 2 million Stars were awarded.
https://iwm.org.uk/history/first-world-war-service-medals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914–15_Star

The MILITARY MEDAL (MM) in the other hand was an award for "gallantry and devotion to duty when under fire in battle on land". 115,500 awarded
Your name would appear in the London Gazette, but no details of what awarded for, just name regiment service no..

Google is the best resource for such questons as will get an instant answer, I am just shortlisting & summarising.
