Hi .Many thanks. Is there any way of knowing if this John McCarthy is the same person as James McCarthy born 21st July 1902 Askeaton Limerick . His family were told he left Ireland age about 12 and came to England and joined the Army about 1914 but he lied about his age. He was in the 72 Regiment of Foot Soldiers. His Parents were Patrick McCarthy and Mary Walsh. |

'19 and a half' in May 1921 would mean born no later than November 1901. |

We know his exact date of birth is 21st July 1902 Askeaton Limerick Ireland. On his wedding certificate he calls himself James Christopher McCarthy but his birth name is just James. Thanks Pam |

there is a tree on ancestry but no record for him beyond his birth and this 1911 census |

As the record you are querying says the man was aged 20 in JANUARY 1922, it can't be someone born in JULY 1902 |

I was viewing the desertion record in case it was my person, as I was not finding anything. The person I want to find is James McCarthy born 21st July 1902 Askeaton. He is not with his family on the 1911 census. (the census you have included is the correct one for his family. ), but I did find a James McCarthy as a Visitor age 12 with another family John Hewson 54 Edward Hewson 53 Kate Mulvhill 38 Michael Madigan 51 Christy McCarthy age 16 and James McCarthy age 12 Address Tomdeely North, Askeaton Limerick. I am looking for the Military record for James in WW1 He lied about his age when he joined up after coming to England.Thanks Pam |

He would have been 8 years old when the 1911 census was taken. Odd that he wasn’t with his family. |

He married Christinj Lewry on 2nd September 1927 in Register Office in Steyning. I have found Christine on 1939 Register in Cuckfield Sussex with one of her sons Marcus McCarthy b 25/6/1927 but James is not on this one. He was called up for service from the reserves at Ascot. Thanks Pam |
