smiths565 Posted 10 February , 2005 Share Posted 10 February , 2005 I am looking for Arthur W Brown - I have only his name, but I have hopefully narrowed my search down to several candidates. Arthur W Brown's name appears on a war memorial inside a church at Oughtibridge, near Sheffield. This memorial includes men from Worrall as well. could anybody do me a SDGW lookup on these men. the key words for where he lived could be sheffield, oughtibridge, worrall, bradfield, wortley. the men are Arthur William Brown. 42529 - Royal Inniskilling Fus. Arthur William Brown. SD/4950 - Royal Sussex reg. Arthur Wilson Brown. 780229 - RFA A W Brown. 262363 - RFA A W Brown. 56724 - Lancashire Fus. the 1901 census, doesn't seem to show anybody of that name in the area, which makes the search even harder. Thanks in advance. Robert my research so far is on my website Stannington Roll Of Honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaymen Posted 10 February , 2005 Share Posted 10 February , 2005 Robert This one does not show up on SDGW - probably beacause his death was after 11/11/18 BROWN Initials: A W Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Driver Regiment: Royal Field Artillery Unit Text: 7th Reserve Bde. Date of Death: 09/12/1918 Service No: 262363 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Spec. Memorial.

smiths565 Posted 11 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2005 Thanks lads for that I've still got a bit of work to do, by the looks of it. the man in the York & Lancs is interesting. This was a regiment that many people from the area joined. maybe the 1901 census will eventually give me some answers Thanks again. As I have said before, the information I receive from this forum is .... First Class. Cheers Robert Stannington Roll Of Honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
