Hello Arty i am Mike i will try and help You if i can.
Firstly i have checked out the 1901 census,to see if he was listed.But nothing
i then Checked some of the Irish Counties on Irish Family history Foundation
again nothing.I have checked out the india office just in case he was born there.But again Nothing.I will Check Further afield.
If he was listed in the Military for the years UP to 1945.You should be able to retrieve his Military Record.This would Give his next of Kin.
And place of Birth.
You can apply to this department.There is a Charge for there Service.Its Quite Expensive £30.
But should Give you the details you require
