I would like to say hello I am looking in the Woolner brothers

[Mia Amelle]

Hi everyone. I am very grateful to be able to join you all. Thankyou for accepting me.

I am re-searching the Woolner brothers & wondered if there is any way i can maybe find photos of them. I knew a little about charles Norman woolner as he was often talked about but we really knew nothing about the family so i have been looking to to him & his brothers and i have learnt that they all seemed to have served at one time or another. Fred i think was taken prisoner of war but i have no idea on how i can go about finding more info on this.

I appologise this is all new to me doing the research using the interet but im trying my best to learn how to find information.
If anyone can offer me some assistance i would be ever so grateful my family would love to learn about the brothers & possibly their father whom served their county.
