He died when I was 5 in 1968, so I never really knew him. If anyone has anything at all, that could give me an insight to his younger years that would be good. After leaving the navy, he did various things, including being a boxer at fair grounds (a member of the public would select 1 of about 7 boxers from a line up and choose to fight them)The good old days! Eventually he got a proper job and became a carpenter. Dying of Pneumonia in 68. norma from Liverpool said... 28/09/2006  norman atherton Norman was my uncle altho I never met him, he is still remembered and talked about by my mother ( his sister) and his brother George.

Ann Farmery from Kent said... 16/09/2006  Victor Hawken I have just started to research my family history and have received information via my mother that her uncle, Victor Hawken, died on HMS Barham in 1941. If anyone has any information especially Bert Ward, whose message I read on your website, I would love to hear from them. Victor would have been about 20 and was a Telegraphist I think. He was the youngest son of my great grandparents, and originated from Middlesbrough. My mum is Joan Taylor (nee Temple) sister of the late Allan and daughter of the late Elizabeth (Betty,/Bertha) Hawken and John Thomas Temple, known as Tom) who lived in Middlesbrough. Many thanks and I hope to hear from you soon. tim clark from Worcester said... 15/09/2006  Donald Rennison Donald Rennison, Coder Trying to find out any information I can about Donald Rennison from York who died aboard HMS Barham aged 21 years.
