Missing Durham Home Guard record

[Havakin]

I know that this thread was a long time ago, but my dad remembers going to James Morgan's funeral as it was his uncle.
He was killed as you've mentioned, he believes it was up at Haverton Hill.
So perhaps we are related?

From your user name I can say that we most definitely are.  My mam was a Morgan - James was her uncle - and used to talk about her cousin, I think it was Jack, or Jacky Havakin.

Your Dad remembers correctly, James died on Haverton Hill Road, and Bill Wallace was the informant. Bill was married to James' sister, Mary Ann, who I remember as Aunty Mary, and the pair of them were keen tandem riders.
