Good work Gortonboy.
A few years after my mother died my brother found a dead manīs penny well hidden in a box of her belongings that he was sorting through. We didnīt know what it was to start with so the first part of the investigation was to find out what it meant. We knew which branch of the family it belonged to from the surname but had no idea who the individual was. So the research job was handed to me. We now know that he was our first cousin twice removed, who was in the Hood Division, Royal Naval Battalion. He is one of those who has been remembered this weekend in the commemorations in our home town.
