Pte T Bendall

[Dannemois]

Researching Pte T Bendall KIA in WW1. 

There are two Pte Bendall's names on our local war memorial of Brithdir, Gelligaer.  Pte J Bendall,  military record located, and, Pte T Bendall no information found.  Can I please request a look-up on the Great War 1914-1918 data base.

Thanks in advance

Hi Roy,

Have you had a look at www.cwg.org ?  There are 3 T Bendalls listed; only one is a Private.

Hi Jan
Yes I did check but the private listed is from Middlesex, I'm looking for a T Bendall from Brithdir.

Hi Ady
You've got him, I located Tom Bendall on the 1901, b. Thornbury c.1888.  He is a brother to the John Bendall mentioned at the start of this topic.

Well done

Thanks

Hi Ady
For your interest!!!!!!!
Second thoughts here, yes there two brothers John and Tom Bendall in the same family but there was also the father named Thomas Bendall.  He is missing on the 1901 census with wife Fanny head of the household and registered as married.
