I meant to post this in another thread but lost it now.  Apologies for the random post!

My grandad William Hurley who fought in WW1 lost 2 brothers in the war, James Hurley and his little brother Daniell Hurley ( died at Mametz Wood, 10th July 1916, service no 19314, actually only L , so Daniel, I think he lied about his age so added the L).  I am doing my best to research the Mametz Wood battle but I would love to find out more details of how he was killed, or probably killed.  As for James I have hit a brick wall so any information would be most welcome.

Many thanks,

Kev

James in Rhymney 1880 but Daniel(l) I cannot find out and that is really strange.  I found them on the census in 1891 when I searched for my Grandad (see below).  The Hurleys seem to fluctuate between Cardiff and Rhymney, Monmouthshire.  I think Daniel was born circa 1900 but I cannot find anything at all on him, very strange indeed.

What was his mothers maiden name to check births?

There is a Daniel age 11 down as nephew on census.

The Daniel born in Cardiff Mar 1900 has mothers name McCarthy.  Is that the right one?

What links Daniel as a brother to the other two gentlemen?

The 1891 is transcribed as Vatrick Harley as head of house for anyone struggling like myself to find it!

I can see them in 1881/1891 but not 1901/1911.
