« on: Tuesday 15 September 15 23:18 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for relatives of my relative JAMES HAMILL 1921-1993 from the Skipton area.
His father was Anthony Hamill born 1896 and his mother was Rose Ann Bryden.

Have you applied for his will to see if there is further information there, also his death certificate?
