petermuir Posted 31 January Share Posted 31 January I inherited the above death stroll from my grandfather's estate. The Bryce family name was linked to the Bonnington name through a second marriage of my great grandfather Robert Bonnington after his wife died. I now wish to find a proper home for this scroll. I offered it to a Bryce family descendant. Initially she was keen but then never followed it up.. To sell it is distasteful to me as I feel that this would be profiting from the dead. A quandary. Grateful to receive advice and guidance of forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave66 Posted 31 January Share Posted 31 January Peter, If it were mine, and I didn’t have room to frame and display, and with all other avenues exhausted I would very reluctantly sell. If it was sold to a collector it would be researched and cherished, not just forgotten about…so in a way he is still remembered. I totally understand your feeling about this, but any money could be donated to a worthwhile cause that you and your family would feel appropriate. Best of luck. Dave..

petermuir Posted 31 January Author Share Posted 31 January Grateful for advice of offering this item to any interested forum member. I don't need payment as such but maybe cost of postage. I don't want to breach forum rules. Best wishes Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pension records at WFA/Fold3: Robert BONNINGTON appears to have lost his son George BONNINGTON, 30435, Highland Light Infantry Bella BRYCE lost her son Alexander BRYCE, 16344, Cameron Highlanders I hope they found consoling comfort in each other.
