looking at the service record...it states no next of kin,and that he is unmarried,,,however i think he just got married without permission as looking at his sickness record it shows him in Fermoy and Templemore in the right years for the births of his children.
his adress when he died {of senilemyocarditis} was 17 Northmead,Epswood? road,Birmingham.

have a look at his signature on his army attestation ,,then compare it with his signature in the 1911 Irish census,,,i can see they are very similar,,,especially in the way the G of George,,,and the R of Robinson are formed?

[Gelw62]

Yes I think this might be him. Thank you so much. Where did you access his children's birth certificates from? Did you find all the other information on the Chelsea Pensioners website?

[gortonboy]

Both army records are on findmypast. The birth records are on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/iris...church-records. In the civil records

[gortonboy]

You might find him on the 1939 register in Birmingham ?

Thank you so much for all your help and for taking the time to reply to me, it really is appreciated.

[gortonboy]

do you know if his family followed him to Birmingham?

[gortonboy]

just in case you were unaware,,,the Alfred Mulholland in the 1911 census listed as nephew,,is the son of Daniel Mulholland and Alice nee Robinson. Daniel was a Barrack Sergeant in the army.
