Trying to find details of one of my Great Uncles, Thomas Garrity.. I have him in 1901 living at 6 Low Street, Farnworth, Lancs aged 8 and in 1911 at 24 Cobden St, Farnworth. He served in the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during WWI and I have a diary written by him while serving in Salonika. That's where the trail ends. If anybody can help please do get in touch. Thanx
