Pte. Edward "Ned" McGuirk
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers
from:Blackrock, Co.Dublin
(d.21st Apr 1915)
My great granduncle, Edward McGuirk was killed in action in April 1915 whilst serving with 2nd Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers. He was born in Blackrock on the 8th of April 1889 to Edward McGuirk and Mary Anne Davis. I don't know much about him except that he worked as a gardener in Frescati House. I'm a bit confused as to what his date of death is. On some records it says he died on April 12th 1915 and on others it says April 21st 1915. I have a copy of his baptism cert from St.John the Baptist Church, Blackrock dated 21st April 1915 which I presume the family got on hearing of his death which would make April 12th the more likely date unless it's just pure coincidence.
Ned is not on any of the memorials (something which I'm going to change)or listed in any cemetery records so I don't know if they ever recovered him or if he's one of the thousands of unknown soldiers buried in the cemeteries.
His older brother, Michael, was also a soldier in WW1 and survived but I'm not sure what regiment he was in. I heard that more of the McGuirk brothers went to war but I haven't confirmed it yet.

Nurse Jane Simpson "Jean" McInnes
Red Cross
from:Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Jean McInnes was an Australian, daughter of Alexander McInnes and Margaret (nee McDougall) born in Brisbane Queensland in 1891, who was working at the Smithston War Hospital Greenock, Scotland during WW1. It is not known yet what the exact period of her service was. The evidence for her being at Smithston is this July 1919 funeral notice. As the military authorities withdrew from Smithston in April 1919 she may have been a Red Cross volunteer rather than a military nurse working with a British unit She has no Australian Army Nursing Service file at the National Archives of Australia.
Nurse Jean Simpson McInnes
Australian Imperial Forces
Taken from a funeral notice for her brother. It appears Jane McInnes (who preferred Jean) served as a nurse at the hospital. This is the only reference I have that she served except for her death notice which has her as Sister J S McInnes AIF.
