Pte. Samuel Crawford
British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers
from:14 Downing St. Belfast
Samuel was my great uncle and he died in a sanitorium at the age of 21 on the 2nd of November. He left behind a wife,Margaret,and a baby daughter,Annie, another child,a 10 week old called Samuel,had died on 13/1/1920. Samuel senior was buried in the military wing of Belfast City Cemetery. His wife never remarried and still lived at their old address until she died in 1978. She was buried with Samuel 58 years after his death. The house they had lived in was demolished soon after Margaret's death as she had refused to leave the area which was to be re-developed. I would appreciate any information about Samuel who may also have served with the Royal Irish Regiment. I'm not sure but I think he may have died because of a war wound.
