Interesting to see two men from my parish I'd never heard of but whose families I'd know.

[ONeill]

And a rake of boys from Coalisland.

There's a lot of that it seems.

[Tony Baloney]

None from the homeplace.

Found a Great-Grand-Uncle who died in 1916.

[LeoMc]

And a rake of boys from Coalisland.

And a few from Carrickmore, Beragh & Ballygawley.

Rather disappointing - not much info available.

13 from my village - I suspect all are from one side of the community.

It is interesting to cross-reference with the 1901/1911 census. I (probably) found a neighbour who was 8 in 1901 and who died in 1915 when he would have been 22, which is plausible.

An uncle of mine who died at Ypres during one of the first mustard gas attacks:

His brother also died at Ypres a few years later. Both are were from Lurgan but neither turn up when that's entered in the search. Both were also left off the war memorial in the town until relatively recently.
