Strabane History Society has been researching local newspapers of 1914/1915; Strabane Weekly News and Strabane Chronicle.
We have recorded entries found in these newspapers of those who were involved in WW1 for the period from approximately August 1914 to December 1915. We have also included data from other websites which we consider refer to the people mentioned.
We accept that there may be discrepancies in this initial research and hence the reason why we need your help.
We are trying to gather more background information on these people documented and would encourage those who have relevant additional individual and family information to come forward and help us to improve this database.

Hello there, I’ve just recently started to research my Irish grandfather. My dad, Thomas McPhikomey, always said his family were from Cork, but after a little digging I have discovered his father in Strabane. His dad’s name was Francis J McPhilomey, and his father (also Francis) was a tailor in Strabane and his mum, Bridget (nee Watson) was a seamstress. He had two brothers Andrwew Edward and John Joseph and a sister Eliza Mary. I have spotted my grandad in your site, in WW1 info. I think it’s so good that you do this.
Kind regards Jill
