i believe up to 12 members of my family may have fought in WW1. Thomas and Albert were 2 of 8 brothers who all signed up together to fight in WW1.

It's amazing to find this out.

My great grandmother, Mary Hawthorn, born about 1830, the daughter of John and Mary (unknown), married John Thompson on 13 May 1853 in Moira Parish Church.

Their children were James, George and Isabella.

Do any of these names figure in your family tree ?
