Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

In researching a name on a club memorial I found that he had three brothers, all of whom fell in or as a result of the war. I have their details from the War Graves Commission site.

The first was Francis Arnold WARRINGTON, RFA, kia 7 Oct 1916.
Next to die was Garfield, on 18 Aug 1917, who was in the Army Service Corps.
Harold Gordon was kia on 6 Dec 1917, another in the RFA, serving in Italy.
Last was William Barnett, a captain in the RAMC who died on 2 Feb 1919 and was buried at St James's cemetery in a grave marked with the surname Weeks as well as his own. He appears to have been a consultant in Rodney Street before his war service, and lived there.

I do not have access to online newspapers at present and have the seasonal cold so am not inflicting it on libraries, but if anyone has the time or inclination to look for more about these four I would welcome their help.

Many thanks

I'm sure Katie will check her database for you to see if there is any mention/photographs.

What else do you need? do you have medal cards etc.?

Sent you a email Daggers.

Thank you, Mary and Katie.
Katie has sent me copies of press reports of deaths etc from her valuable database, which have helped to fill in some details.
I have wondered whether there was any other comment on the loss of four brothers, which must be exceptional, but perhaps not.

I will be checking the Worthies for some of the Warrington brothers. I will do it tomorrow.

I have found that the four brothers (and possibly others) were baptised at "St John's Chapel, Liverpool" according to Ancestry, with no image of entries available, but an LDS film number: 1595426. The dates cover 1869-1884.
Does anyone know what denomination this chapel was, or where?
The family lived in the Dingle Mount area at the time.

Daggers,

St John's Chapel, Wesleyan, Belvidere Rd?

Thanks, Bert. That ties in with other Methodist clues. I have just found it in 'The Churches of Liverpool' by David Lewis - Baptist since 1950.
