Is it free to search🤔

Yeah, but you have to walk in there, not online, and while the archivists are helpful and knowledgable, some of the staff are a bit lost-seeming.

So, between 1914 &1918, Patrick kinsella died.
Was he in the military at that point, because I can't find record of death in Ireland.
Could he have joined up and died overseas in the first world war?
