Hi all I wondered if there are any SWEENEY researchers or anyone that might offer anything useful on this man He left evidence of graffiti in a building and a facebook poster is asking if anyone can help on him Facebook post below Hi, everyone, trying to solve a mystery that has intrigued lots of people. in a building in York there is some graffiti left by soldiers and in particular one who left quite a lot of info. namely Pte. J T Sweeney of Sheffield, A Coy. 10th West Yorkshire Regt. Sept. 14th 1940. I have found a death on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site in 1944 but he was a private in the Pioneer Corps., service no. 35133. He was the son of John Thomas + Emily Sweeney and the husband of Christiana. It would be good to find out if they were the same person, but I don't know much about researching military records, might he have changed regiments etc. Can anyone help, thanks. The latter man has been traced to a James Thomas SWEENEY b1904 Sheffield, he married Christiana NEWMAN in 1929 But whether its the same man is hard to say -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Sweeney fans, For a few years in the 1950s, we had a schoolmate named Darwin Sweeney at schools in the Newton area of Surrey, British Columbia. He was the only Sweeney I've ever come across in my 70+ years... He might be traceable...
