Hallam Family - Stoke on Trent

[liver007]

Hi

There is a piece in the newspaper 2nd Sep 1944 concerning Mr & Mrs Thomas Frederick Hallam of Penryhn, Fenton Park, Fenton, receiving news that two sons (same regiment)had gone missing in the same day..Frederick aged 28 and Charles James aged 19.
Another son Joseph was a POW in Germany and another, William serving in Italy.
Apologies if you have already

Hi Cathy,


I have just spoken to my neighbour who I am carrying out the research for and it adds up because his gran received letters regarding Frederick and Charles having gone missing in action.

I am going try and obtain the newspaper article.

Thanks
Keith

Hello matey,
                I stumbled across this as you do, I am Paul James Hallam, the son of Charles James who along with his older brother  Fredrick Hallam, was reported missing in WW2 (although I did not know that until reading it on this site). My grandmother was from Tipperary, I never met her and I  only saw Fredrick,my Father's Father twice when I was a child in Stoke market from the rear. I recall as a child Fred, my dad's older brother, dropping in and talking about the war. I know my gran Josephine was from main street Tipperary, I had the number too but lost the paper my father's sister wrote for me, I have a mental block at the moment and can not recall her name, my dad's other brother George visited now and again. Truth is the family was fractured for from what I can glean, petty reasons. I have  couple of wartime photos of my dad Charles,  I will take another look to see if Fred his brother is on them. Take care now
