A puzzle...Patrick Ducie, b. 1885 to Thomas and Teresa, Carlow, married a Margaret Skelly in Dublin in 1916.
There are WWI records which show that Patrick was discharged as unfit in 1917...There is also a war record indicating that he died in 1917. However, another record, in the Irish genealogical archives, giving the date of death of Margaret as 1965 (details are not precise but age-dates tally) also gives the name of a son, James, who was present at the death. The only James I can find was born in 1920 (just in case: Patrick's brother, James, was born in 1895 and later went to America).
Obviously, there is a a problem here.
I'm wondering if the 1917 date of death is accurate. The war records are not absolutely clear. And another Patrick Ducie died in Dublin in 1927...
Help.
