where can i get some information about Christopher McMahon from Ennis who died 16 th Aug.1915.
he was a member of Royal Irish Fusiliers.He died in Turkey........we are doing family tree and wonder if he is part of our family.....any help would be appreciated.

This site might help - it lists your Christopher McMahon, but you have to register.

I can't find a suitable entry in the 1911 census, but this is a possibility in the 1901 census
