Cork / ss Ardmore 11 Nov 1940
« on: Saturday 12 April 25 15:58 BST (UK)  »
As many will know the ss Ardmore was lost on the night of 11 Nov 1940 en route to Fishguard, possibly as a result of hitting a mine.  There were no survivors.
The bodies of two members of the crew were washed up on the Pembrokeshire coast and, it is understood, returned to Cork for burial. They were:
Frank O'Shea, Farranferris Ave, Cork and
Michael Raymond, Lower Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork.

Does anyone know where either of these two men is buried?
I would be very grateful for any help.

Strange coincidence  - two men called Wilfred Bates, two wives called Emily, both in West Houghton.
I was only aware of Wilfred Bates 200796. The mention of Hindley does raise the question as to whether we should be looking around Wigan rather than/as well as Bolton.

Hope I'm not leading you down a blind alley. John Stringfellow is relevant only inasmuch as he appeared on Wilfred's Pension Card. My end objective is to find proof of where Wilfred Bates is buried.
I don't know the Bolton area but Horwich and Westhoughton appear to neighbouring districts to the west side of the town,

Thank you, both. According to Wilfred Bates' Pension Card, John Stringfellow was born on 6 Dec 1906.  Wilfred married Emily Stringfellow in 1912 - so presumably John was the child of a previous marriage/ relationship.
Wilfred most likely buried in or around Westhoughton.  Any other clues still very welcome,

Lancashire / WILFRED BATES WW1 1918

WILFRED  BATES died on 28 Aug 1918 after serving with 4th Batt Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Aged 26, he was the husband of Emily Bates, 8 Smithy Street, Westhoughton. His Pension Card includes the name of a child, John Stringfellow, born in 1906, (If these dates are correct it may be that John Stringfellow was a step-son?)
Wilfred Bates is entitled to have his resting place designated as a War Grave but that requires proof of burial.
Does anyone out there know Where Wilfred Bates is buried?

Great work, hgs46. Hopefully Aberdeenshire Council can come up with the Burial Register.
Are you able to post the funeral notice on this site?

Many thanks.

Aberdeenshire / Disney Forbes GORDON WW1 1921
« on: Monday 24 March 25 22:42 GMT (UK)  »
DISNEY FORBES GORDON died on 5 Jan 1921 after serving with the Royal Field Artillery. He died at his parent's home at Old Rayne (near Insch).
Disney was the son of Alexander Gordon and Helen Gordon (nee Forbes).
He is entitled to War Grave designation if proof of burial can be established.
Does anyone know where Disney Forbes Gordon is buried? I would be very grateful for any information
