Find Ancestors

I am looking for any information regarding Albert Waddington. He was killed in action during WW1 in France, July 1916. His father was Joseph Waddington and his mother, Caroline Louisa (Holtaway/Hottaway). His brothers' names are registered as Harold and Arthur. If you are related and can help me 'fill-in' the blanks, I would be delighted to hear from you.







:-) :-) :-)

Lancashire BMD and freeBMD both have Holtaway.

What info do you want on Albert?

Ann,

If you are trying to discover other members of GR who are related to the people you mention then use the Search Trees facility (Above). If you find that someone has them in their family tree you can contact the tree owner by private message.

That might be a more productive method of discovering more about Albert than hoping that someone related spots your post.

welcome to the boards Ann - Where was Albert or his parents born please?
