Hi Rosalind, I am not sure what you can search on FindMyPast? But can you tell me if with them you can search a record of someone who died in WW1 and awarded the DMC would the details give any information of where in Ireland his Father came from in Monaghan.? I have all the details of his death and where he is buried etc. Anyway here is the information below:- Patrick Collins brother of Thomas' s son also called Thomas born 1885 in Durham died in Ypres, Belgium? A leaflet published by Deorwenta Publcations, Blackhill, Co Durham (St. Mary's War Memorial) and it reads as follows: '5332 Patrick Collins DCM Age 27: P Collins, one of twelve children, was a son of Thomas Collins, originally from Co. Monaghan, Ireland and Mary Anne Collins, neé Duffy, from Berwick on Tweed, whose family came from Co Armagh, Ireland. Patrick was born on 15 July 1889 and the family lived at 29 Waltons Row, Blackhill, Co Durham. He enlisted at Newcastle on Tyne, to join the 6th Battalion, Connaught Rangers in Co Cork, Ireland, attached to the British Expeditionary Force. On Friday 9 March 1917, he died of wounds and is buried at Kemmel Chateau Military Cemetry, Heuvellland, West Vlaanderen, Belgium. Grave reference: M81. After his death, his mother was presented with the DCM at the Olympia Cinema, Blackhill, when his courageous advance into no-man's-land was commemorated on stage Betty

Thank you for your kind offer. Please can you see if you can find the marriage between William Seymour b1865 and Florence (sorry don't know her surname). Marriage to have taken place between 1881 and 1892 in Liverpool - most probably West Derby. Regards Rachel

1851 census is not available on Findmypast, so anyone with Ancestry will possibly be able to help the requests for this census. Sue

Hi, I would be grateful if you could find me the marriage of: Michael Hogan born Liverpool c1852 and Mary Ann (I think her name was Tanner) c1853. Had their first child1871 so I assume they were married around that time give or take a couple of years. Anne-Marie.

Anne-marie - where have you got her maiden name from? this one looks realistic Mary Ann Daley 1869 Jul-Aug-Sep Liverpool (1837-1924) Lancashire Michael Hogan 1869 Jul-Aug-Sep Liverpool (1837-1924) Lancashire but so does this one ( asuming they stayed in the area) Michael Hogan 1874 Apr-May-Jun West Derby Lancashire Mary Ann Leonard 1874 Apr-May-Jun West Derby Lancashire
