He was definatley from Cork City and not County Cork. I have his parents and siblings names, would they be on his records? Parents were Patrick and Catherine.

Hi, John and his siblings were baptised in the North Cathederal in Cork City otherwise known as the cathederal of St Mary and St Anne. It doesnt look like any of these soldiers are him. Thanks for looking.
