I've found a William John Larner age 21, born 'Kilrush Clare', on the 1911 census (he's a Gunner with 87 Company Royal Garrison Artillery in Hong Kong). I've been hunting for someone of this name for a long time, without success, and this man is just the right age. If he's the man I'm looking for his father was English, but I haven't found him after 1861 when he was an ag lab living with his parents in Gloucestershire. I've found the birth of William Larner on the LDS pilot site – registered Q4 1889 Kilrush, so I think this must be William John. If I can find the name of his parents I should be able to tell if it is likely to be the family I'm looking for. I have absolutely no idea about Irish research, so could someone please suggest what should I do next.
Thanks, scuda
