World War One / Re: WW1 MM???

Quote from: sharren1837 on Wednesday 31 August 05 21:15 BST (UK)
According to a contact through GR, a relative of mine won the MM in WW1.  However, i dont know what the MM is/was but im assuming it was a type of medal?? Would that  be correct?? What is the significane of the MM? i have to admit that im a novice when it comes the the military aspect of research.

The soldier was Albert HORNSEY (1886 - 1948) Born in Starbeck, died Harrogate  Parents Willam (1858 - ?) & Elizabeth (1854 - 1910) 

Siblings:

Charles Frederick b: 1889
Agnes Eva b: 1894
Florence Jane 1897 - 1975

All born Starbeck, Yorks & living at Old Beck St. Starbeck in 1901.  Albert was employed on the railways acc. to his MC in 1920.

im guessing that Albert & possibly Charles joined up in the Harrogate area, but ive no idea of their regiments etc.  So if anyone can help with further info it would be much appreciated.

Kind regards, Sharren

Hi Sharren

I have just come across this email on the Internet, and I am really interested as Charles Fredrick Hornsey is my paternal great grandfather.  My Dad has photo's of Albert in his uniform!! You are right Charles and Albert were both train drivers.  Charles moved from Harrogate to Newcastle he worked for the LNER and drove  The Mallard and Flying Scotsman.  My Dad was born in Newcastle, I just wondered if perhaps we are related?? Thanks Sharren

Regards

Jayne
