hi-tania,pollypoppet,lorraine.
thank you for your replys,yes this is where he came from but i am trying to connect him to harriet batty born 1895 bradford yorkshire,as the medals were found in her belongings when she died.
her mother was mary ann batty [nee conroy ]born 1870 bradford yorkshire.
they lived a couple of streets away at ludlow street white abbey.
they must be related but so far i can not find it.
