Hi,
I have a Samuel John Swinnerton who was born abt 1880 Stoke on Trent.
Samuel was killed 25 Sep 1915, Loos, France.
It is said that Samuel had a son Harold.
What I dont know is what happened to Harold, where he was born or his mothers name.
Can anyone see Them?
Thanks,
bswinno.

I'm not seeing any marriage for a Samuel John,though there are marriages for a Samuuel witho0out the John.
Regards
William Russell Jones.

Are you sure he was married? On the Register of Soldier's Effects, which gives his death as on 25.9.1915, he was a Private,Royal Warwickshire Regiment, Regimental Number 4055. The sole legatee is his sister Mrs Polly Walker. This suggests that he wasn't married.
-
On UK Army Registers of Soldiers effects it is his sister that is mentioned Mrs Polly Walker so don't think he was married
-
Snap groom ;D
-
Same conclusion!
If he did have a son, but wasn't married to his mother, the chances are that the son would have been registered under his mother's name, so it could be very difficult finding him.
-
He is with his sister mentioned on the later census ..so no sign of a wife or son so as groom said his son will be very hard to find
-
Many thanks for the replies to my request.
Lots there to think about.

Where did the information about the son come from?
-
From his family tree. I have asked the same question.
-
There is a John Samuel Swinnerton born about the same time, killed 1914, I wonder if they have got him mixed up?
