| Post subject: | James Matthew Bannister |
Hi. Im just wondering if anyone out there has information regarding my Uncle Matty (James Matthew Bannister) who is buried at Haggate Cemetery. I know he was wounded at Dunkirk and died as a result of his wounds, but I would like to know more about him. I know that prior to the outbreak of war, he was working as a farmhand in the locality, possibly Sweet Clough farm (although that may not be the correct name of the farm). Would like to share any info that I have too. Thanks. |

According to Lancashirebmd marriages Harry Bannister married Eva Annie McGuiness in 1923. If you send for the wedding cert it will give the name of his father, so the family can then be traced down the census returns. |

This is a bit of a stab at the 1911 census---Harry Bannister living in Southfield St Nelson, Interestingly Alice is born Extwistle, Margaret--Burnley, and all the rest Nelson. Name Age John Thomas Bannister 50 Alice Bannister 45 Margaret Bannister 27 Thomas Herbert Bannister 22 Susan Bannister 19 James Bannister 17 Nellie Bannister 14 Clara Bannister 9 Harry Bannister 6 Following on from this I found a marriage and on the same page is an Alice Whitaker John Thomas Bannister Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1883 Registration district: Burnley Inferred County: Lancashire Volume Number: 8e Page Number: 381 The only way to check if this is the right family is really to get Harry Bannister's marriage cert. Hope this helps. |
