If you are looking for war deaths try the Commonwealth war graves site http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/search.aspx This gives all known burials of WWI (and II). It is a great site and gives a lot of information on the person, where, when, regiment, parents, etc.. It also makes tragic reading as things like "only son of Mrs. Smith, widow, of ....." come up.

He had a daughter Florrie who became Florrie Towers after marriage. She resided and died in Blaydon. Lately I've found 'dead ends' to family lines. I wonder if the Boer War and WWI took a greater toll then we realize. Grateful for any information - Judy ==== ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND Mailing List ==== To post to the list, messages should be sent to ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND-L@rootsweb.com
