Guest Graham Payne Posted 17 June , 2003 Share Posted 17 June , 2003 I am trying to find out details about 3 brothers who were killed in WW1. They were brother in laws of my Great Grandfather, Alfred Ford (7th Bn Leicestershire Regt). They were: Edmund Wyer Pte 1091 8th Bn Lincolnshire Regt Died 4/10/17 Robert Wilson Wyer Pte 12129 7th Bn Lincolnshire Regt Died 3/7/16 W Wyer Pte 14004 9th Bn Leicestershire Regt Died 14/7/16 I am unsure whether W Wyer was the third brother but as there are only 3 Wyers listed on CWGC in Lincolnshire or Leicestershire regiments I am guessing that he must be. The family originates from Bourne in Lincolnshire. Any information that confirms they are linked would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_davies Posted 18 June , 2003 Share Posted 18 June , 2003 You might want to try contacting Tony Stubbs, I understand that he was researching Bourne's War Memorial. Perhaps your lads (or at least Ed & Rob) are commemorated on it. alstubbs@btinternet.com Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
