Cheers GB. That must be what I can't see.:biggrin:

Widowed by the time he signed up then.

I had the 1901 Irish census, and the 1911 for his family.

Dont know if you have this already or not but ....

Tilloy was captured by the Canadian Corps about the 1st October, 1918, in the face of strong opposition,

1st October 1918 is the same date that George died.
