Coldstreamer Posted 9 July , 2006 Share Posted 9 July , 2006 Hello The way I found it was put light** to seach for all the names starting with light. Put in the year, initials and army narrows search further Only easy if you know how! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bennett Posted 9 July , 2006 Share Posted 9 July , 2006 I note that CWGC list the name as "Lightbowe" but SDGW has the "N" making the name Lightbowne as per Bernard's first posting. One for Mr Denham I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 9 July , 2006 Share Posted 9 July , 2006 FreeBMD indicates that John Lightbowne married Jane Hilton in Bury in 1891 and, in 1894 also in Bury, a George Lightbowne was born. Right age. Right neck of the woods. Scanning error at CWGC? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
