Thank you Shaun and Ady

This definitely looks hopeful, especially given Edward STANLEY's birthplace in the right year.

Thank you both so much, your help is very much appreciated!

Kind regards and God bless you!

Would any merry soul be able to look up the following guy for me in Soldiers died.

Albert Hustwick. Residence - York.

I don't know if you need any more info than this, if so, give me a shout.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Jen,

Albert appears in my family tree - I can let you have more information on him if you would be interested.
