Thank you Jim 1

Just checked he is on the QSA list on the RDF listed as 2nd batt.

Is there any sign at all of your man post 1900.
Marriage perhaps.

[ork23110]

None that I know of, if married I would have thought Dublin, if this is the correct man he had a brother Michael a Sgt in the Rmf also in South Africa.

The only other avenue to explore is local newspapers.

Can only see 1 record & for a T O'Donoghue 2nd. Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
Pte. 4714 died Mar. 20th. 1900 at Ladysmith.
No other info so no way of knowing if it's him.
His service number indicates joining in early 1893.
Just about possible.

There are newspaper snippets which may/not refer to this man -both English and Irish.
22nd March - Today’s list of Casualties
March 1900
Private T O’Donoghue - enteric fever

You would need to see the article in full to work it out.

Thank you heywood, Jim1

Last question, where would he be buried if he died if enteric fever in ladysmith 1900. Would the cwcg have the record?

Here:

The IWGC which was the predecessor to the CWGC wasn't
formed until 1917 so they won't have the information re. family
members if that's what you're looking for.
Forget that they do.
