Yes, that is my James in Ancestry but I never have much luck in responses from messages posted on there. I find members on GR are always very helpful. Kind regards Kathryn

Catherine aged 30 can't be mother to James, so perhaps a second wife?

	is it at all possible that James married Margaret O'Sullivan during or after WW1, and that she was a widow ............... so that O'Sullivan is not her maiden name?

	Only about 30% of the WW1 records for servicemen have survived in any form. Most of them are damaged and burnt. We are very lucky if we find even a scrap of record remaining, which is very unfortunate for us.

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 679 Send Message	My grand uncle, James Brown(e) with or without the e was born in November 1879 in Ireland. I have now been informed that he married a lady from Cork, one Margaret O'Sullivan. James apparently went off to war and upon returning lived in Oxford for the remainder of his life. They had a son also called James, nothing else known about him. I have tried searching for James Snr's marriage but cannot find it or locating a death for him in Oxford. I have his birth date as being 21 November 1879 born in Macroom, Ireland. Am wondering if anyone could please find his marriage whether it be in Ireland or England. I have also tried to find a service record for him but have hit my head against a brick wall. As ever any help would be greatly appreciated albeit there is not much to go on. Regards Kathryn
