Family History Beginners Board / Re: "Lightbody" family in Bangor, Co.Down, Northern Ireland - any ideas about that?

Oh, sorry, I should mention that I checked Irish Census as well.
William joined Royal Navy same year - 21 November 1911 and following summer he was on board HMS Highflyer in the Persian Gulf, catching gun smugglers.

Basically I know fair a pit his military side but almost nothing about his personal life.

Kind Regards,

Family History Beginners Board / "Lightbody" family in Bangor, Co.Down, Northern Ireland - any ideas about that?

Hi all,

 I am researching at the moment a Royal Navy and Royal Navy Reserve man K12927 William James Lightbody service and personal life. I have his medal roll inputs and also NA card for a start. He was born in Belfast, Co.Antrim 7 June 1893 and died Bangor, Co.Down 1963.
 What I am actually most interested to find out is his family tree…. Can there be any connection with the Bangor man Gary Lightbody, who is the head singer of the British Rock band the Snow Patrol?

 I presume their family name is not the most common one – Lightbody. Also they were both from Bangor. It is a wild guess but would be fascinating to find out.

Regards,

Noor
