I received 3 certs Monday - All the correct ones, so I now have:
1908 Thomas Patrick Walsh to parents Thomas Patrick Walsh and Mary Catherine Walsh (O'Shea)
Daniel Walsh 1910 same parents
James Walsh 1915 same parents
Michael Walsh 1917 same parents
Marriage cert 1906 Thomas Patrick Walsh (b 1878) to Mary Catherine O'Shea, both of Canning Town, St. Margarets & All Saints Roman Catholic Church, Barking Rd, West Ham & Essex.
Marriage cert states Thomas was a Ship's Fireman; in 1908 Thomas was a Ship's Fireman living at Hosper Rd Custom House, Canning Town, West Ham; in 1910 he is a labourer; in 1915 Seaman (Merchant Services), Tidal Basin; in 1917 he was a Ship's Greaser at Hemsworth St. Tidal Basin, Silvertown, West Ham CB.
Now the problem - I can't find anything on the Honour Roll at Merchant Navy or CWCG WW1 or 2 and nothing under civilian deaths. No Pension/Medal cards. I found a possible Able Seaman at Gillingham Kent 1901 census which states birth place as Cork Ireland (which seems logical as his father, Michael was in Africa (the Buffs) when he and his older brother Michael John, were born). AND I found on CWGC Thomas Walsh, died age 38, 1943 (could very well be son Thomas Patrick).
How do I find Thomas P Walsh b 1878 and who died WW1 - with the occupations listed above, was he Navy or Merchant Navy or civilian ?
