I have been looking for an officer that died in Ireland between 1919 and 1921 but no matter where I look, I cannot find him. His name was Samuel Stafford and held the rank of either Major or Captain. He was apparently shot while boarding a boat in Dublin but we are not sure if he died in Dublin or if he died in a hospital on board the boat or in England itself. Do you have any information on this man?
I have also searched Sandhurst files for him but no one of the name Samuel Stafford.
All we know is that he was in India before he went to Dublin, even then we have no dates as when. I do know he was Jewish so he possibly had another name as is common with the Jewish faith. I do know his daughter was called Irene Stafford and that his wife was called Margaret nee Rosenberg. We do have a feeling his name was deksneit or deknait or dekesnet, and there is a rumour that he was also known as Isaac.
