A. J. Sullivan (I believe it to be Arthur James) was a Second Lieutentant of The London Regiment of The Royal Fusiliers and was killed in action in WW1.

It's possible his daughter, my grandmother called Margaret became orphaned when his wife died in 1918/19. Apparently the family could have lived in the Holborn area of London. She didn't recall much about her childhood and I don't know if Margaret had any other family to stay with or if there were any brothers or sisters. Her life from birth around 1906 to 1922 is very much a mystery.

Any help would be much appreciated.
