Once again an age needed for this soldier, my other request solved within hours by you wonderful people. This lad died 15 11 1916 born Clonmel Co Tipperary date not known son of Elizabeth Lynch, no other details of him or his mum apart from where he is buried and enlisting in Rochdale. Fingers crossed.

His entry in the Soldiers' effects database shows that his mother was Ellen (image courtesy of Ancestry)

One of the dependants pension card (image courtesy of Western Front association) shows mother as Eliza or Ellen

Food for thought there, Eliza could be shortened version of Elizabeth , we will  have to add the "and/or" Ellen to our entry. Still need his age. Thanks Ralph.
