Re: Ackrill family
Retlaw you are a star! thankyou so much. He looks so much like my grandad. I have some more questions for you if that's ok.
Is there an unburnt record for Daniel?
Do you have any photos or other details for Fred and William Ackrill.
I have been very interested in the great war and my family tree for some years now and wish I could speak to my grandad (he was too young to serve) again to ask him about these family members. My gt uncle Walter desperately wanted to sign up for the East Lancs and was rejected because he had a chronic illness. My dad tells me that all Uncle Walter's mates went and when they marched from Accrington he accompanied them and then returned on his own. What I wouldnt give to be able to sit down with him now and talk about it. When you are younger you dont appreciate things do you. thankyou.
