I know that this is an extremely long shot, but having viewed the results in other threads I thought I might just risk it.. I am looking for information about the gentleman above who I recently discovered I am (quite closely) related to. He played for Rosslyn Park rugby club and was sadly killed in a car crash at High Wycombe in 1947. He came from Bog Hall, Capheaton in the north-east, and started the war with the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the Rifle Brigade. I have some background, but not a lot, and I'm just trying to fill in a few gaps. Please feel free to PM.

Hi Norman
Many thanks - but no PMs yet - I have a lot of the Norwegian connection from Holum already - indeed I provided him with the UK/Scottish end, but the trail has gone cold..
PS it would appear I am his nephew.
