Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 7 Send Message	I am looking for anyone who has any information on a chap by the surname of Gilfillan (spelling may be different). He lived in Stanley, County Durham, England during the two world wars and was an ametur artist. If anyone knows, or is a decendant from him I would be grateful if you could let me have any info you may have. I am researching this man for the Durham Light Infantry Museum in Durham. Thank you.

	Could you say what his first name was, as it is difficult to research someone if you do not know what he was called? Thanks Added: Probably not this one: http://www.artnet.com/artists/tom-gilfillan/past-auction-results
