Good Morning,
I have been looking at your Thornton Steward website for some time, as I have been researching my husband's family tree. Last night I found the Roll of Honour from WW1 that you put up on your Facebook page each Remembrance Day. My husband's grandfather is mentioned on the Roll of Honour, along with two of his
great uncles and his grandfather's cousin. The family name is Waddington.
I have a small amount of information about the four Waddington boys, I also have found that their cousins, who were born in Thornton Steward also served in the war, one of them sadly fell at Ypres. The surname of their cousins was Trotter. The Trotters farmed in and around the village.
Some residents of Thornton Steward may remember the Waddington and Trotter families. I would be very happy to share with you both the information that we have along with a few photographs which may be of interest.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Suzanne Stirke
