Liz ,

That is the family.......


Now because I cant find a death for Daniel in the UK I just assumed the one that died and buried in Belgium is of the same birth year .

No, it does not give next of kin on the CWGC index just his year of birth & death .

So I'm still missing his death then as that Daniel in 1911 a butcher is with his rightful parents, now the Belgium on unlikely to be the one .

So the hunt goes on ...

Thank you very much for looking .

Hi Marilyn,

My name is Lee and Daniel McGuinness is my Great grandfather. I have recently been trying to gather some information about him as my dad doesn't really know to much about that side of the family. I accidently came across your feed so am just curious as to who you are? Hope you managed to find what you were looking for and if possible maybe you can help me out with some information.

Regards

Lee
