S Lancs Regiment - WW1 prisoners of war

[Sheenie C]

Hi,

I sent you an email  a few days ago through a link from your website.  Can you please get in tough with me. You have details about my grt uncle and his cousin on your site and I noticed some of that information is also posted on this site.

I would be glad if you could let me have a copy of the document that says his mother was Mrs K O'Donaghue from Silverstone Street, St Helens. I can't seem to find this domument on there.

Best regards

Sheenagh

I am answering this while I am away on holiday, and will not be back home for a few weeks

1. Can you give me where you found the reference to Silverstone Street, so that I can check my records

2. You refer to a cousin of Thomas Donoghue in Irish Brigade, is the McCabe or someone else

3. You will see from this thread that the spelling of Donoghue tends to be somewhat variable in records which does make him difficult to follow, so I am looking for conrirmation of my conclusions if you have the information

4. What happened to him and his cousin after the war. Did they manage to walk away from the Irish Brigade without problems with the British Governmant

Silverstone Street St Helens.I think this could be an error and the could
be Silkstone St Eccleston district St Helens.

Thank you, that looks correct, transcription is always difficult in handwritten documents, and Silkstone gives me more to go at, as the other was not findable.
