Hi & welcome.
To start with we will have to try and trace any family for his.
James Done, Rank: Private Service No:68947 Date of Death:28/02/1918 Regiment/Service:Royal Welsh Fusiliers 11th Battalion. Formerly T4/072564, Royal Army Service Corps. Grave Reference: D. 632. Cemetery:SARIGOL MILITARY CEMETERY, KRISTON Additional Information: Son of Mr. and Mrs. Done, of Salford; husband of M. E. Done, of 20, Hartington St., Regent Rd., Salford.
This is a good candidate for his marriage
Marriage: 22 May 1902 St Bartholomew, Salford, Lancashire, England James Done - 25, Carter, Bachelor, 11 Duncan Street Mary Ellen Makin - 25, Winder, Spinster, 13 Duncan Street Groom's Father: George Done, Carter Bride's Father: George Makin, (deceased), Packer Witness: James Makin; Sarah Ann Done Married by Banns by: G. W. Petherick
1911@ 9 Hartington Street Salford Married 9 years James Done 34 Head & Carter of coal Mary Ellen Done 34 William Done 8 Arthur Done 4 Anne Done 8/12
So now we need to find out what happened to his wife, did she remarry? The children did they survive & if so did they marry?
I'll work on this later. Hopefully others will chip in? Ben

From Kay Douglas I am VERY grateful for the diligent research. Do you think I should put a note in the Salford Advertiser asking for j Done family descendants? (The Medal has very little monetary value which may prevent opportunists responding).

Hi Kay, A note in the Advertiser would be a good move. Have you thought about trying Salfordonline also?
