Thank you for letting me know.

Good day to you all, I'm writing from Woori Yallock, which is in Victoria, Australia. My mother, Jill Walters and her late sister, Greta Wareham nee Bunker, have a cousin, also named Jill. They lost touch many years ago and I'm trying to find her. I shall be discreet and not divulge a birthdate...

Thanks MWS, I came unstuck with the CWGC site, too to begin with. In the end, I traced my g-grandfather's inscription through that site and very relieved I was, too. Many thanks for looking.

I found him! There was nothing about my great-grandfather, [Jeremiah] John Hand's death in England because he went to France; missing presumed dead. Once I dug a little deeper and became a bit more creative with my search, I discovered that the young man - father of my beautiful grandmother...

Ernest and Dorothy - both widowed - married at St Asaph church in Warwickshire on 18 May, 1918. Victor was born 10 years later but I have only found his birth record and marriage registration to Hilary A L Jones in September 1951. I've hit a roadblock! Thank you for confirming the wedding year...

UPDATE! **********Please see below, post #57. I explain how I have found details of my great-grandfather and his final resting place. Thank you to those of you who gave me some tips. If anyone remembers his son, Bert East Hands (see further down this post) or Bert's daughter Jill M Hands, born...

I am related to Victor F Lewis. He is/was the the son of Ernest Harold and Dorothy Mildred (formerly Hands, nee Young) Lewis. He had half-siblings, Bert East Hands and Eileen Joyce Bunker (nee Hands; my maternal grandmother). Any information would be greatly appreciated. Don't worry; I'm in...
