smiths565 Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 I am researching the names on our war memorial and I have managed to identify most of the people listed. There is another plaque inside the local church, but this includes an extra name - 'A IBBOTSON' To be on the war memorial they would have to be born or living in the Stannington area, in the parish of Bradfield, Sheffield. Can anybody help to identify him. Also any ideas why he wasn't included on the war memorial (outside). I do know that the war memorial was erected in 1920 and it does include names of people who died in 1919. I don't know when the plaque in the church was put up. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 From SDGW:- L/Cpl Alwyn Ibbotson, 12491, 12th Bn, Prince of wales Own (West Yorkshire) Regiment. Died of wounds, 19/7/16 Born Bradfield Enlisted Sheffield CWGC shows him buried at Corbie Cor blimey, though. You must be well chuffed to have now identified 100%. I'm still 3 or 4 short.

Stephen Nulty Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 No luck as yet with the 1901 census, but I have found a birth registered in Quarter 3/1892 in Wortley, Yorkshire (which includes Bradfield) for Alwyn Ibbotson. SN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchkin Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 Hello, I have an original copy of "Roll Of Honour of Sheffield Men who fell or died of wounds in the great war 1914-1918". This was issued in 1921 and copies were available for anyone wishing to get one. It lists every soldier that died who lived in sheffield and surrounding area (Stannington, Bradfielf etc). There is no A Ibbotson listed. I live at Hillsborough, if you wish to see the Roll of Honour send me a PM and we can arrange it. Glynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 Also i forgot to mention, that Bradfield have open days for the public to access their records. If you contact the St Nicholas Church in Bradfield, i am sure that they will let you know the next date for the open day. Glynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
