Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me with more information re: my great grandfather John
(Jack) CABLE.
He was born in County Cork 1860, Married (I think) Frances Cooper from
Manchester/Hampshire
circa 1890's worked as a fisherman out of Barking Creak Essex, worked for
Hewitts of Barking,
it has been said sunk the first German u-boat to be sunk in the first world
war in the North Sea
in a fishing boat, and died (I know) in Barking Essex July 1925.
It has also been said he left Ireland at the age of 9-10 aboard a boat to
Australia obviously
returning later, and was also in the Royal and Merchant Navies.
I have tried searching his birth records at the records office in Dublin
only to be told that they
don't hold them as he was born in 1860 and that I will have to do a parish
search.
I do not know what parish in County Cork he was born in.
Can anyone help me please?
Adrian Cable
