Hi Helen, hollydog (above) did pass your contact details to me yesterday. Anyway, here you are. I'm descended from the sister (Isabella) of William and Lawrence. Lawrence just caught the end of the war being sent to France in September 1918, (with the Grenadier Guards) if memory serves me correctly. He actually enlisted in Feb 1916, but being a miner they stuck him in reserve and kept him in the mines. His service papers are online somewhere. He lived in Leazes Street and Gibson Street, Amble.
