Thanks Brian,
I checked the census too and found him but I didn't know the details of the sisters.
It might be worth me checking to see if I can find any descendants of the sisters.
Thank you again
Helen

Hi there,
I'm writing because I have a letter dated 14th August 1918 that I bought at an antique fair in the early nineties when I was about 12 or 13. I have recently refound it whilst looking through some old belongings and having had the war on my mind recently (my grandma, who was a nurse during the war, recently died and I have been given lots of family wartime letters etc) I decided that I would like to send this letter to someone who may have a connection to the writer.
His name was Edmond and he was transferred to the Loyal North Lancashires, 2nd Batt(?).  no. 30902, 15 Platoon 2(?) company BE7 France in 1918.
I have (?) anything that I am not sure of from the writing!
The letter is to his father and it asks after 'Lizzie' and 'Auntie Gracie' and he also requests some soldier's friend! He also asks after Harry Elden.

Please get in touch if this rings a bell and I will send you the letter - I know how special it is to have letters that have been sent by grandfathers or great-grandfathers,

Helen
