Waterford WW1 lookups available

[Paul Peter]

Hi

My mother's uncle was William Hogan Private 2964 7th Battalion Leinster Regiment, he was from Kilrossanty and was killed on 20th July 1916 although I got a photo of his headstone and it says 1917 so not sure which is correct, I would love some more information if you have it please.

He is the young man in the photo on my profile.

regards

Paul

Waterford; husband of Kate Kirwin (formerly Hogan). Native of Kilrossanty, Kilmacthomas. Grave or Memorial Reference: I. C. 1. Cemetery: Philosophe British Cemetery, Mazingarbe in France.
I would be happy to use his photograph in the book if you wish.
The war dead databases says he died in 1916. there were 5 Hogans killed in ww1. I see you are from Kilkenny. The Kilkenny War Dead has just been started by two Waterford men and should be finished in about 6 months.
Regards.
 Tom.

Hi Tom

thanks for that. Some of that information came from the CWGC and is incorrect. William was not married, Kate was his mother, Kate Hogan (nee Kirwan) but to get it corrected I need her birth and marriage certificate and his birth certificate and haven't got them yet . You are welcome to use the photo if you like, the other people in the photo are my grandmother who is the oldest girl, his other sister Bridget and their aunt Hannah Kirwan who reared them as their mother died in childbirth when William was 2.

Can you let me know where you want the photo sent ? and would you like the photos of the cemetery and headstone.

regards

Hello Paul.

 Soldiers died in the Great war, Irelands Memorial Records and The Commonwealth War Graves Commission say he died in 1916.
