Also, if you read some of your replies, there's no reason why he wouldn't be in that regiment. He didn't need to live in Ireland. |

Don't know why he'd be on the absent voters list if he was 19 - too young to vote! |

his name was charles robert parkin, born 1899 in grimsby. i was looking at the 1918 absent voters list. he would be only 19, so my guess is he joined the army as soon as he was able, probably straight out of school. as far as i have found he does not have any family in ireland. |

It didn't always follow that men joined the local regiment, so as it's mentioned in the absent voters list, I would imagine it's right. His records might be on Ancestry, depending on his surname, although bear in mind that a large proportion of them don't survive. |

whhilst looking for my great grandfather on the grimsby absent voters list i found who i think is his brother, serving in the royal dublin fusiliers. anyone have any idea why someone from grimsby would be serving in an irish regiment and how i can get more details to make sure it is him. |
