stephendixon Posted 4 January , 2007 Share Posted 4 January , 2007 I have obtained the Craven Roll, (West Yorkshire -Keighley, Skipton, etc) for the Great War. It is a good source for photographs and certain information. Let me know if I could be of assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pighills Posted 11 April , 2007 Share Posted 11 April , 2007 Ady thanks for taking the trouble to look for my James Greenbank - I'd already looked on the craven site and I have the photos of Stainforth memorial (the Greenbanks are all related from memory). I was especially interested in the comment from Stephen2764 when he mentioned possible photos - I have been trying to track one down of James (he married my great auntie) I have spoken to Skipton library they looked and didn't find anything in their roll of honour (although the other Greenbank's were mentioned, just not my James - sod's law I believe it's called). So it would seem if Stephen doesn't have it I may need to take a trip to Skipton to look through the newspaper archives, which would be nice to complete before 1 May as it's the 90th anniversary of his death on that day. Thanks for your interest. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pighills Posted 11 April , 2007 Share Posted 11 April , 2007 Oh Ady, thank you so much - that's just wonderful. I did look on that website a few weeks ago so this must be a new addition, just shows you should check things every now and then. I shall now lay his photo on his wife's grave on the anniversary of his death, as I laid hers on his grave last October. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
