Pte. John Kearney, Irish Guards d. 1917
« on: Wednesday 01 August 12 10:22 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
I am  a amateur researcher, involved in researching the military and family lives of officers and men from South Co. Dublin who fell in the Great War. My work will be published in a book titled, Out of the Dark 1914-1918, and will be financed from my own resources.
    I would like to make contact with relatives of Great War dead, who were born or lived, at any time, in South Co. Dublin. In particular, I would like to contact relatives of Private John Kearney, of Ruby Lodge, Blackrock, killed in the area of the Yser Canal, France, on 1ST August 1917 from wounds received in action. He was aged 23. My mobile No. is *.

Ken.

dont know if you seen them on the census already - but this looks like John listed as 'Johney' and his parents in 1901 :

  Kearney family, Stillorgan

and his CWHC entry which gives his age as 21 :

  John Kearney


and the Kearney family in 1911 :

  Kearney family, Rock Rd.
