He was a Sergeant in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. It gives his service number and batallion. If you contact them they may have information. I then searched http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true for John Doody born in Co. Kildare and found John born 1 March 1877 son of John Doody and Bridget Doyle. I also found Mathew born 19th July 1879 to the same couple. I then checked the 1911 census at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ There I found John aged 67, Bridget aged 55, Mathew aged 33, Thomas aged 30, Catherine aged 23 and two grandchildren. John and Bridget were married 36 years and had 6 children, all still living in 1911. Their daughter Ester Leigh lives nearby. Their address is Belan which is about 3 miles north of Castledermot. I hope this information is of some use. Best regards, Seamus. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
