World War One / Re: John William Brook
« on: Thursday 14 May 15 16:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am researching the names on the Kirkhamgate Memorial on behalf of the Kirkhamgate Community Association as we would like to try and publish some sort of history of the men to honour them. I would love to hear from any relatives as I would like them to read the information I have about John William Brook and if anyone had a photo that would be brilliant. I have the report which was printed in the Wakefield Express at the time of his death which says amongst other things that an officer writing to his brother after his death said he was 'steady quiet and resourceful.' I believe his brother Tom also enlisted and was wounded, coming back to stay with his brother Lawton at Red Lodge Farm which is next door but one to our farm. Regards Janet

Many thanks for your help. I suspect she returned to South Moor to be buried which was where her family lived. I emailed Durham County Records Office on Saturday and had reply this morning (what service!). I can request to view her case notes from the NHS Trust archivist apparently which I have just done and hope to get more information from there.

Many thanks again for your prompt reply
Janet

Hi,

Would you possibly look for Frances Jobson who died on 24th January 1924 in the asylum

Many thanks

Janet
