I have been trying to reunite a set of WW1 medals and have even had an article in the Newcastle Eve Chronicle - to no avail.
The medals have the name 121193.1.A.M J G Barnborough RAF on the edge. and it is believed came from Bambroughs (different spelling) Garage Coutts Rd, Walkergate, Newcastle. My wife's aunt used to work at the garage many years ago - it is not there now.
The only other info I have is that it is thought JGB had two sons Stanley and Freddie and Stanley had a daughter called Pat.
I am attaching a photo onlong with a card that was with the medals.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Stanley Q1 1911 Newcastle, a Frederick Q3 1902 Sunderland, a Frederick Q2 1909 Newcastle [no MMN] & all before the 1912 marriage of J G Bambrough to Mary E Wyatt. The only other info I have is that it is thought JGB had two sons Stanley and Freddie and Stanley had a daughter called Pat.
With these dates of birth Stanley & Frederick may have been born to a brother of John George of interest.

I have just come across your enquiry following a google search for John James Bambrough. His father John George Bambrough was a brother of my paternal grandad, Frederick Bambrough who set up the garage in Coutts Road. I am Stanley's daughter, Patricia nee Bambrough, formerly Galston and now Stephens. My current interest comes from a Probate Enquiry regarding John James who died in 1991.
You mention your wife's aunt used to work at the garage, I would be very interested to know her name.

Hi Frank. Sorry to hear you're having problems with Roots Chat as indeed we are. I am unable to access your PM - sorry. I remember Rene, her husband Joe and their son Geoffrey very well. I met them on many occasions at my grandparents home - attached to the garage.
Regards. Pat.

Hi Pat
You can PM (pers Msge) me after you do 3 posts, so do another one and it should be ok.
I have been trying to reunite the medals for Geoff for a while now, so he will be delighted.
