Morning folk's help needed on this person.When my wifes Grandmother passed among photo's and
documents we inherited was a yellowing envelope from the then Imperial war graves commision
containing the register from the WW2 Ottawa memorial for those missing on operations and accidents
in North America and the Carribean.She had enquired about Sgt. Ronald Farnsworth missing on ops
out of the bahamas in 1943.Mary's mother was Harriet Farnsworth b.1877 to Abram and Jane near
Consett.Harriet married James Wilson in 1899 Lanchester I'm trying to find the link between daughter
Mary my wifes Grandmother and Ephriam and Ronald his son as there must have been one to enquire
to the Commission.Any help appreciated.
Steve.

There is a lot you can find out for yourself

Have you looked for Ronald on www.cwgc.org

Have you looked for Ephraim's birth/marriage or looked for him on the 1901/1911 censuses?

www.freebmd.org.uk

Track his father back through the censuses to see if there is a link to Abram or other male Farnsworths in the same family

Hi

Harriet had a brother John born 1863 Pelton Grange Durham who married 1886 Sarah Alice Ridley 1867-1906 at Lanchester. John is a coke yard leveler 1901
Ephraim wasn't born until 1899 at Daisey Hill Durham
1939 Durham North Terrace
Ephraim born 19 Aug 1899 coal hewer and ARP warden
Ellen 7 Aug 1900
Ronald 24 March 1924 at School.
Ronald and his older brother 1921 were born Chester le Street.
Their parents Ephraim and Bridget Ellen Curran married Mar qtr 1920 .
Ephriam died 1968 and Bridget Ellen 1960.

Mary and Ephraim would be first cousins.

Does that help?
Do you want more about Ronald?
There are a couple of Newspaper announcements but no more detail .
