John Sexton Glynn Co wexford

[stav01]

Hi there I am attempting to discover the World War 1 record for this man. He survived the war and died in the 1960s . Thanks in advance. If you can help.

There don't appear to be any surviving records with that full name or with John S Glynn.  There are a lot of John Glynns but none that can be linked to Co Wexford that I can see.  You probably know some 60% of WW1 records did not survive bombing in the second war so it is always a 4 in 10 chance of records being found.
Are there any other clues - medals, regiment?

Oh...
I thought it was John Sexton from Glynn Co. Wexford, but that said while I can see a death for a John Sexton in Bulgan, Glynn in 1964 I can't see any Sextons living in Bulgan, Glynn in the 1901 or 1911 census. There is a lack of Sextons in Wexford in general and not many Glynns either.

Never thought of that Sinann!  No sign though of a Wexford John Sexton in the military records.  Hope the surname isn't Co!

I agree Sinann LINK to Death Record #175

A John SEXTON married a Louisa COLLINS on May 18 1920 in Glynn LINK
I believe John's address reads as Carrigmannon which is in Glynn
If correct his father was James

Louisa SEXTON died Mar 31 1960 aged 64 address Bulgan Glynn LINK

[myluck!]

Louisa Jane COLLINS is on both census returns at Bulgan, Glynn

Two daughters of a John SEXTON of Bulgan Glynn died young

Mary Bridget SEXTON died aged 1 year & 11 months on Apr 26 1925 LINK #461
and
Nora SEXTON died on Dec 04 1932 aged 5 weeks LINK #461

He could have married into the area
Louisa COLLINS' father was from Co. Limerick and SEXTON is a more prevalent name there

A James SEXTON died on Feb 19 1898 in Glynn Co. Wexford LINK

He had married Mary Kate CONNOLLY d/o Nicholas CONNOLLY on Feb 16 1926 in Glynn LINK

He could possibly be a brother of John's
