I am tracing my family tree. My grandfather was Henry Morgan James and he was born in New Silksworth about 1891 I am trying to find out which regiment he served with in Gallipoli in WW1 He lived in Ryhope after WW1 and was sacked for his union activities in the 1930's. He moved to Dawdon Colliery and worked there till he retired Any information would be gratefully received Thank you |
