Just checking on http://www.findmypast.ie/ as recommended by Janet earlier in the thread and there are interestingly a number of John Daniel/Daniels actually imprisoned 1900-1909, just wondering if Elizabeth Daniels would have stated on her marriage deceased rather than admit her father was actually in Prison? Just a thought
Why so serious???.........Lets put a smile on that face

Sounds as though the brick wall is crumbling! Great news.

Looks like the information is tying up all the loose ends now, received this information this morning from the Essex Regiment museum, which confirms John Edwin Barnes was based at the Curragh camp in Ireland.
We have your man as born at Poplar, Middx, lived at Dublin and enlisted at Stratford.
He is listed as going from the 2nd Battalion, then at the Curragh Camp, to join the 1st Battalion in the Regimental Magazine of April 1911.
He then appears in the 1911 Census at Quetta with C Company of the 1st Bn as a single Private soldier aged 22.
He landed at Gallipoli on the first day of the landing, thereby earning the 1914-15 Star, on which day he was killed.

Very good news so at last you are beginning to tie the ends together, which is when a brick wall does crumble! The Curragh was a very big camp and is worth googling for more information and possible pictures. It was going for some time as my own G Grandfather was at the Curragh where one of his children were born in 1865. The Curragh address is actually Co Kildare but not too far from Dublin and I think there is a racecourse there now!
Keep digging! The hole may get bigger but you are going somewhere!

Thanks Janet, yes seems like all of a sudden the wall is beginning to tumble or at least thats how it feels and can't thank both you and Margaret enough for your help inspiration and ideas. Will carry on googling about the Curragh, ironically many years ago we holidayed not far from there, but as is always the case, long before i started "treeing".
I will keep you posted on progress, especially once i get the additional certificates and see where it takes us............thanks again Paul

Finally an update on this.............after what seemed an eternity well about eight weeks, i have finally received the certificate for Lizzie Daniels second marriage to Frederick H Ensum, which did indeed take place in Dublin on 16th October 1917 at The Church of St, James, South Dublin. Lizzie (Elizabeth Barnes) is listed as widow and Frederick soldier, which all ties in.
The interesting facts are the two witnesses, namely, John J Daniels and Mary Josephine Daniels. Are they Lizzie's siblings??
The downside is her father John was listed as deceased on her first marriage cert, but here he is listed just as a labourer, but of course could have been dead.
So some progress, but also some gaps, was her father John dead or alive, was the John J Daniels, witness her brother or in fact her father. her address is given as 31, Sarah Place and his address is given as Dominic Street.
