    It usually indicates the deceased had assets in more than 1 jurisdiction, so had to be dealt with in each. I live in Northern Ireland and many people here have assets in Scotland or England as well...

    Statutory birth registration didn’t start in Ireland till 1864. Prior to that you need to rely on church baptism records, not all of which have survived and not all of which are on-line -...

    If your information is that Richard was born in Stranocum then you should search baptism records in that area. The family was evidently Presbyterian (going by the 1901 census anyway), so likely...

    To me “Engine fitter” strongly hints at John being employed in a shipyard, not the military. As Jomot1 mentioned, Harland & Wolff were big employers at that time. They had yards in Glasgow, Belfast,...
