Hugh Henry Maguire -death record
« on: Friday 22 January 10 12:05 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out when Hugh Henry Maguire died.  He was born 28.4.1870 . His father was William Henry Maguire and his mother was Elizabeth McCormack.  In 1891 he married Helen Mary Ferguson and they had three children, George b.11.4.1892, Elizabeth b.17.7.1894 and Sarah .14.2.1901.  In the 1911 census H.H., now a widower, was living at 19 Brown's Court Lurgan.  He was a damask weaver.  In 1916 he married Susan Murray b.25 12 1886 and gave his address as Londonderry and his occupation as a soldier.  In 1921 Susan emigrated to New Zealand, having worked for a time in a hospital in Manchester.  Hugh Henry did not accompany her so I thought he may have died during the War though I have no evidence to prove this.  I have searched the military records on Ancestry but have not found any record of Hugh.
I have found a marriage record for Elizabeth but not for George or Sarah.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Only about 1/3 of WWI British service survive. Have you checked for Hugh's death on www.cwgc.org website?
Another resource to search is civil index (up to 1921 for N.I. counties)-

Thank you Aghadowey for your suggestions.  I've just had a quick look at the War Graves site but can't see his name there. I'll look up the Family search site this evening,

Thanks again for your help.

He'll only be listed in Irish death index if he died in Ireland.
