On my mom's side I knew of my great-uncle William McCullough, or "Uncle Billy", because my mom, Shirley spoke of him often and said that he was killed in WWI. While visiting Belfast, Ireland in early September 2019, I walked the area of the Shankill Road, which was the neighborhood where my mom's dad, her uncle, and her grandfather lived.

Ch.Art. Hugh McCully
Royal Navy HMS Liffey
from:117 Stanmore Road, Glasgow, Scotland
Hugh McCully is my Great Grandfather. His daughter from his first marriage was my Grandma Hunter (Christina Finlayson McCully). He was married at the time of his service (on his marriage certificate was dated 1918) his wife was Christina Harley and she was a tailoress. His parents and two older siblings came from Dromore, County Down in Ireland after his sister Jane was born in 1874. They are shown on the 1911 census, without their parents. Who I think has passed away by then. After Hugh's first wife passed away in 1930, he remarried a Sarah Josephine Roger. They divorced in January 1944. And he re-married again that year, to a lady called Isabella Robb Don (who was the help). They were married until his death in 1956. I don't know if he had any more children after my Grandma.
I am trying to trace his service records and I think this is his service number but I am yet to find confirmation of this - Z2475C I will be happy to share any more information I find.

AB. Patrick McDermott
Royal Navy HMS Marlborough
from:Newcastle
My Father, Patrick McDermott, forged his date of birth to join the Royal Navy in June 1915. He was on the Marlborough at Jutland and whilst she was getting repairs at Newcastle he met and later married my mother. He ended the war on Q ships as a DEMS gunner who were administered by a shore base called HMS President 111
When he rejoined the RN in July 1940 he now entered his true date of birth. Back came his papers with that crossed out and his WW1 date of entry recorded written in. The navy has such a long memory! Also on his WW2 service certificate shows he had rejoined HMS President 111 and was on SS Rutland as a DEMS gunner. She was sunk by a U boat on 30th of October 1940.
In the First World War he joined Q ships for the action and adventure. In WW2 he rejoined President 111 for the 2 shillings and 6 pence a day extra as our family was in financial difficulties by start of the war.
Able Sea. Patrick McDermott
Royal Navy HMS Marlborough
from:Newcastle
Patrick McDermott was the son of Patrick and Ellen McDermott, the husband of Mary Ethel McDermott of Ryton, Co. Durham Patrick lied about his date of birth to get in the navy in WW1. After his ship, HMS Marlborough was damaged at Jutland he served the rest of the war on Q Ships, and was paid through HMS President III.
When he rejoined in 1940 he recorded his correct date of birth but the navy would not accept that so crossed it out and recorded the false one! He died on SS Rutland sunk by a uboat on 30th of October 1940
