<p>He served as a doctor in the army and was in South Africa. He was also the medical officer on bord a Cunard liner.</p>
<p>Today, my research revealed that he had treated an IRA member who had been severely injured, saving his life. To bring him to the scene, the IRA told a story to lure him as he might otherwise have declined. He was, after all, a British soldier, happening to be home on leave.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Charles James Douglas (or C J as he was called)was born on September 23, 1856, in Cootehill, Cavan, Ireland at Freamemount (the home leased by his father). Charles married Anna Maud Douglas, his cousin, 5 June 1912. He died on December 18, 1943, in Abingdon, Berkshire, at the age of 87.<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/downloads/Mavis_Book/24%20Charles%20James%20Douglas%20son%20of%20William%20Henry%20Douglas%20&%20Eliza%20Magee.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more>>></a></p>

<p>It has certainly been a labour of love for us. We are so grateful for the family in previous generations who have taken care of family documents and pictures for the later family to come. </p>

<p>Is it possible to Dropbox some of the PDF's to me. Particularly those of Moses Douglas and his children. I don't know if they are relevant to me, but I am certain there is a Lurgan connection in my family and would like to follow it up. My email address is rob-rob@westnet.com.au</p>
<p>Thanks William, </p>
