Admin: Hawker Hurricane: Following post moved here - relates to the post 'Reply #6' on this thread.Reported by notlaw on Today at 12:41 for the following reason: Hi - I'm new to the forum today, but have done quite a bit or research on this war memorial. I wonder whether this is the correct Harold Bannister, but mine might not be!! I have the following information Harold Bannister Nationality: United Kingdom Place of Birth: Barrow-in-Furness Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Manchester Regiment Unit/Text: 18th Bn Age 22 Date of Death 1/7/16 Service No: 9823 Additional Information: 1911 Census shows him living at 190 Barton Lane Eccles. 1901 census shows him with his parents in Garston. Both Parents born in Tarleton and married there. Herbert Richard Bannister who is also on the memorial was also born in Barrow-in-Furness and his parents were born in Tarleton. Both Mothers have the maiden name of Parkinson. Potentially two sisters married two brothers and therefore the two men are cousins. Memorial: Thiepval Memorial Somme France Am I barking up the wrong tree!!!! Notlaw61 Admin: Hawker Hurricane: Both Harold Parkinson Bannister and Herbert Richard Bannister appear to be commemorated on the Eccles Wesleyan Church and School Memorial. The attached article may cause more confusion on which H Bannister we are looking for, according to Pte Fred Tonge, Harold is only rumoured to be killed and is actually alive when he writes the letter on the 5th July 1916. Article published Friday the 14th July 1916.This gets more intriguing!
