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. He was my Dad's best friend and although Dad is now 85 years old he still has a photo of Don and often talks about him. I know Don worked for LNER Police and his parents Ernest and Pollie lived in York. Can anyone help? Many thanks. john cotton from b,ham said... 15/09/2006  arthur andrews god rest my grandad,i hope he is at peace Jo Rodd from Queensland, Australia said... 15/09/2006  John Mackenzie My great-uncle was a survivor of the HMS Barham sinking. My mother is travelling to England in November to go through all of his things and my Great-Aunt tells me he has loads of Barham material. As soon as I receive it I will go through it all and sent you copies etc. This website is amazing! If anyone has any info about John Mackenzie I would love to hear from you. jr@gpsinvest.com.au mark ashley gale from kidderminster said... 13/09/2006  J G A Gale My father John Gale [known as Jack to friends and family] survived HMS Barham sinking. He is now 87yrs old but suffers from ill health and cannot get to a pc to see your website. I have searched yours and other sites, for my dads name and cannot find any reference to. Can anyone help? regards Mark Gale. Lynne Halford from Derby said... 13/09/2006  William Pearson Bill Pearson was my husband's uncle and his mother's favourite brother. She often spoke of him and the terrible day that the Barham went down. If anyone has any information about Bill it would be great to have it. The video footage is terrifying and brings home how amazing it is that anyone survived. The debt we owe can never be repaid. Thanks for the website. Rachel Parry from Southampton said... 09/09/2006  Rowland Hill My grandfather was aboard the ship and survived by jumping into the water just before the ship blew, his lower legs were burnt as they had not yet gone into the water at the time of explosion, he passed away in the 1980s. margaret kitney from Chritschurch, Dorset said... 07/09/2006 Does anyone have any knowledge of Cyril George Morfett, Royal Navy, born 9 Sept 1895. He had a picture of HMS Barham in amongst his papers. He died in 1954 Harry Wainwright from Birkenhead said... 04/09/2006  Harold Wainwright I am the oldest son of Joseph Wainwright, the older brother of Harold. I've just watched the two videos, and found them enormously moving. On a lighter note, I often wonder what I'd have been named if my uncle had survived. jeanne broadley from Thackley,Bradford said... 31/08/2006  Ernest Ireton Ernest Ireton is my brother, my maiden name being Ireton. Ernie was the love of my life as a young girl and he looked super in his Marines uniform. I have only just found out about your web page which I find to be most helpfull..thank you. Jeanne.
