World War One / 22293 Sgt Hartley Webber
« on: Monday 05 February 24 15:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I'm trying to look into more of my Grandmother's Brother Hartley Webber reg no 22293 South Wales Borderers. He was taken prisoner on 12th April 1918 at Merville. While travelling by train near ? St.Maur, a British aeroplane  bombed the train. Hartley suffered a double shattering of the lower jaw, left lower lower part of his thigh.left metatarsal of the upper arm.
Thankfully a German surgeon put Him back together again apparently using rabbit bone to rebuild his jaw.
Hartley went on to live into his nineties.
I want to know where could I ask if our records have any details of this or would I have to look to Germany.
Also earlier would Hartley been at Mametz
Thank you.

I have just come across this record of my 5 times Gt Grandfather Guiliemus Adlington, c 25 March 1616 at Lenton Priory, Nottingham.
His father is shown as Hugonis Adlington.
I an curious about the forenames at this time ?
Might Hugonis be an immigrant to our Country or am I barking up the wrong tree

Hi,
I'm having difficulty finding anything regarding Henry Mellor Snr, of Scarcliffe,  the first information I have of him  is a bapt of Son Henry in 1796,21st Feb along with his Wife Sarah.
Henry Jr, may  have died in 1818 aged 22 in Scarcliffe.
So other than both Father and Son being mentioned on a Bastardy bond in1816 in afraid I haven't much to go on.
