Thank you Harribobs, I hope it isn't him.
I will have to get the census out and check his place of birth.
I know their mother was from Kilmaronock, but she died in 1906 before they were killed.
And I know their dad died in 1945, so he was alone with the two daughters and John if he survived.

Annie thank you, you have been such a help to me these last through days.
I really wish I could take you with us  ;)
I will pm you when I get back.  :)

Can you give me the link where you put in where born etc so I can check  the other side of my family.

PS yes Annie I have that, I have a photo of Andrew too.
I added to the silentcities website.
He is buried in CITE BONJEAN MILITARY CEMETERY, FRANCE.

Hi Harribobs, I didn't think so, I just want to make sure I look up every thing I can on Andrew and his brothers.
Never been to Kew before, so don't want to miss whichever infomation I can get on them.

I am looking for the death of Cecil Henry Petts now.
Died in Helles, in 1915.

I have just told my dad all the infomation, he is a bit shocked and sad that they all died.

Regards

no, not much luck at all!

it's not from a site, it's from 'soldiers died (in the ) great war' originally a set of  books but now produced as a cd ( usually refered to SDGW)

glad this has been of help

Thank you Chris,
It was great to read, and at last know what happened to my g grandfather and his brothers, though I don't think John is one, so at least it seems he survived.
