Tony Lund Posted 15 August , 2004 Share Posted 15 August , 2004 Tom, Would you please see if you have anything on this young man: Jack Bamforth, a 19 year old United States Marine, was killed in action in France on 15th June 1918. Born at Prickleden, Holmfirth, Yorkshire, the son of Harry Bamforth. He left Holmfirth with his father and family to start the New York branch of the Bamforth’s post-card business when he was six or seven years old. They lived at 249 West 178th Street, New York. Many Thanks, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carninyj Posted 16 August , 2004 Share Posted 16 August , 2004 Hi I'm trying to put together a list of men from the Ballymena area who died in WW1 and I have reached the point where a have about a dozen men on whom I have few details and can find out nothing more. Would you have a readily accessed source that might shed light on a Co Antrim connection for the following: Wm O Wilson, John Taggart, Herbert Taggart, and R S Smith? I understand the difficuly of what I am asking but would much appreciate you checking what databases you have. Do put yourself too much trouble. Thanks in anticipation. carninyj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
