Hi folks Does some kind soul out there have access to the James Bridge Cemetery in Darlaston or details of the War Dead buried there? I'm trying to find more details of a T.BATES who is buried there. According to the Commonwealth War Graves site he was a Private of the 26th Battalion King's Liverpool Regiment. Service number 406664 and he was buried there on the 6 Feb 1921. The Grave reference is D134. Due the fact that he was buried well after the War finished I presume he died of injuries suffered in the conflict. His link on the CWGC site is http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=395008 What I'm trying to find is if there are any more details such as next of kin etc. Any help would be most appreciated Ian -- Ian Beach Bunbury, Western Australia ian@sedgleymanor.com Website "The Ancient Manor of Sedgley" in Staffordshire at http://www.sedgleymanor.com Listowner ENG-STS-SEDGLEY at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-STS-SEDGLEY.html Researching: Sedgley, Staffordshire : ADDIS(S), BEACH, CASWELL, GUTT(E)RIDGE, HOPKINS, FLAVELL, MILLARD & TURLEY Darlaston, Staffordshire : FOSTER, ORME & YATES Shropshire : ADDIS(S), BEACH, CASWELL

BUT there are lots of cemetary roads LOL so look for bentley mill way, cemetary at one end, me just a bot further off the other LOL actually here is the link, the cemetary is bottom right of the map, I am the other side of wolverhampton road, top middle. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=398929&y=298260&z=1&sv=bentley+mill+way&st=6&tl=Bentley+Mill+Way,+Walsall,+WS2&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
