My name is Terry McInerney. The above named James McInerney may be my Grand Uncle. My Grand Uncle was born on March 20th 1877. A James McInerney was approved to join the Royal Engineers on November 10th 1897 in Dublin Ireland. His number was 1367. He was 20 years while my grand uncle would have been 20 years and 7 months. The address is correct and the next of kin is given as Bridget. My paternal great grand mother was Bridget. The addresses given are not precise enough to put the issue beyond doubt. The trade or calling of James was that of Harness Master which would tie in with a person from an agricultural background. Any advise or information would be appreciated. James was awarded the South African "Queens'" Medal Clasps Driefontein. He died on May 31st 1900 of Euterie fever.
