This is a tough one, can anyone find me Lieutenant L Bradbury?
I am researching the South Anston 1st World War,War memorial and I am really struggling with L Bradbury.
I have searched CWGC & SDGW & altough there are a couple of L Bradburys, there are no Lieutenants.  I have had a look for a Bradbury family in South Anston in 1901 but there isn't one. Can anyone else work out who he was please? I just need to find someone with a South Anston connection, as he may not actually have been living there at the time. South Anston is in South Yorkshire, near Sheffield & Rotherham & not far from Worksop in Notts.I'd be grateful for any help please.

Hmmmm....I just looked at the officers records on TNA site, but there are no papers for an L Bradbury, only other initials.

Oh, that's wierd - there's a transcription of the names from the memorial on Genuki, and on that he is a Corporal!

I wonder if it's possible that it started out as E Bradbury and at some time when it has been cleaned up they didn't realise it was an E and it ended up as an L? There is a Corporal Edward Bradbury of the Sherwood Foresters listed on the CWGC site, service no 6464, died 9th Aug 1915. It doesn't say where he was from on there.

Hmmm, Soldiers Died in the Great War says Edward Bradbury was born in Nottingham and lived in Chesterfield, so maybe not him.

It is a possibility, although it does look like an L, even when examined closely. There is a Sgt G Bradbury listed as having also served, but I haven't been able to work out who he was either.

I found Corporal Edward Bradbury's service papers on ancestry and looked through them, but I couldn't see a connection to South Anston so forget that idea!
