I hope that you will be able to help me. An elderly friend of my late parents has been talking to me recently. When she found out that I have been researching my family tree, she began to talk about her maternal grandfather whom she believed had been killed in the Boer War but knew nothing about him other than his surname, Wilkinson.
After some research I found out that he was James Wilkinson, born in about 1879 in Haslingden Lancashire. He married in February 1901 and his daughter was born in about 1902.
I would very much like to be able to tell her a little more about her Grandfather but I don't know where to start looking and would greatly appreciate some push in the right direction.
