Hi Doreen, Thanks so much for your kind offer!!! I am trying to find out more about this death in WW1 the information I have is below can you find anything else on Patrick Collins? I am really trying to find out where in County Monaghan his father Thomas Collins came from. Betty Patrick Collins Durham died in Ypres, Belgium? A leaflet published by Deorwenta Publcations, Blackhill, Co Durham (St. Mary's War Memorial) and it reads as follows: '5332 Patrick Collins DCM Age 27: P Collins, one of twelve children, was a son of Thomas Collins, originally from Co. Monaghan, Ireland and Mary Anne Collins, neé Duffy, from Berwick on Tweed, whose family came from Co Armagh, Ireland. Patrick was born on 15 July 1889 and the family lived at 29 Waltons Row, Blackhill, Co Durham. He enlisted at Newcastle on Tyne, to join the 6th Battalion, Connaught Rangers in Co Cork, Ireland, attached to the British Expeditionary Force. On Friday 9 March 1917, he died of wounds and is buried at Kemmel Chateau Military Cemetry, Heuvellland, West Vlaanderen, Belgium. Grave reference: M81. After his death, his mother was presented with the DCM at the Olympia Cinema, Blackhill, when his courageous advance into no-man's-land was commemorated on stage. |

Thank you Doreen for your very kind offer. I have an ancestor George Fred Bishry(sometimes spelt Bishery)(Bichri)born 19th October 1832. baptised 16.12.1832. He is in the 1841 census with his parents John and Mary Ann as 9 years old.Also in 1851 census. I have him listed as a Private 3057 48th Foot(Northamptonshire) in the Crimea Casulties 25.07.1855 as having slight wounds and wondered if he died later at Sebastopol as I have never found details of him again. I am not sure why he was with a Northamptonshire regiment his brother John who survived was with the 108th Royal Hussars. Would your overseas deaths show details of his death please. Many thanks Irene |
