Hi folks, Can I jump in on the back of Syd's query? I am having trouble in finding out about my Grandfather Frederick Herbert WHITE 1895 - 1960. He was "said" to be a member of the" Southampton Silver band", whatever that was, he played in the silver section, sadly anyone who would have remembered have passed on. I have done many Google searches for bands in Southampton, but not been able to pin him down to one. He was a tram conductor and then a meter reader when he retired. Best wishes, Chris.

Can't help directly, but if there's anything in local sources about your ancestor or his band, the helpful people at the special-collections/local-studies library should be able to help. Why not send an email to local.studies@southampton.gov.uk Cheers, Dave Jacobs =============== At 14:45 03/12/2004, Christine Gibbins wrote: >Hi folks, > >Can I jump in on the back of Syd's query? > >I am having trouble in finding out about my Grandfather Frederick Herbert >WHITE 1895 - 1960. >He was "said" to be a member of the" Southampton Silver band", whatever >that was, he played in the >silver section, sadly anyone who would have remembered have passed on.
