Individual Details

Michael BARRETT

(Abt 1894 - 7 Apr 1918)

Michael's parents, Michael and Maria, had a son named Michael on 27 October 1886 (born at 29 Friar St., Cork) but this does not tie in with the age of Michael in the 1901 and 1911 censuses (six and 16 respectively). It is possible that the Michael born in 1886 died as a child and that another son named Michael was born about 1894.

Michael was educated at North Monastery in Cork. He was a corporal with the Royal Engineers regiment, serving as a sapper, when he was killed in World War I.
