Is there anybody out there who is a direct decendant to James Henry Dodd born 1888 in Hoylake, Cheshire? James was the eldest brother to my Grandad, Charles Edward Dodd and I've recently learnt of James's galantry in the 1st WW.
I find this facinating and wondered if there is anyone who's a member of GR who knows more or is even a decendant of James.
Thanks for your time, Steph

Dodd in Moreton, Chesh & Cottier in Harrington, Cumberland

I'm not, but wonder if you know who or even if he married?
