Hi all,
I am trying to find my Uncle. He was born around 1924 in Sheffield. His father's name was Albert Victor and his mother's name was Ada( maiden name Ashton). He had 3 brothers and 1 sister and lived in the Crosspool area possibly moving to Meersbrooke area. He was killed on Atlantic Convoys around 1943. He was always referred to as Sonny, but i think this may have been a nickname, as i can find no record of him. All i have is a photo. Could anyone please help.
