Scapelhorn - Newport?
« on: Tuesday 19 August 08 13:43 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am trying to help someone who has advertised in a newspaper regarding an Edward Scapelhorn and his brother Charles.

Edward was born 19.12.1896, Newport died 07.08.1918 aged 21 at the Battle of the Somme.  This person tells me they have extensive information about Edward so they are not directly seeking a 'lost soldier' but they would love a photograph if anyone has one.

Charles was born 2.10.1894 Newport and was still known there during the 1940's, his trade was a saddler.

Furthermore, their dad Charles Scapelhorn was a native of Wootton Bassett  Wiltshire.

I have mentioned to this person that I could post this on Rootschat to see if anyone knows more information and they have agreed.    They are hoping to hear from anyone that has the 2 brothers in their ancestry.

Many thanks
Ewan
