Another thank you!! I have just had a look at the site - there is so much! I can't believe i missed it. Hopefully will find more on relatives but have to say I am finding it just a generally interesting site!  :D

Hi Vida

No probs, will let you know.

Mine signed up 3/5/1915 & was KIA 2/3/1916 so not sure how big a file he'll have.

Jay

PS what are your Hamsterley names?

Jay,

Thanks.

How sad -  KIA in less than a year  :(.

My Hamsterley names include Spence, Atkinson, Hodgson. I'm sure one of mine married a Race but can't find it at the moment!

Thanks Vida, will check that out.

I've got Hodgson's in the tree too from around that area, tho they're proving difficult as like the Race's there's so many of them, mostly with the same names!
