It's chopped the name off - the surname is Bainbridge! Will try & alter the title it's obviously too long.

I am trying to find out more information on the above. Born in 1885 in South Elkington, Lincolnshire and died in 1944 in Italy in WWII.
I am researching the history of a house & he built the house concerned. I am trying to fill some holes I have in my research and would love any information on him, his wife or parents. I am particularly interested in info on his parents as it looks like when he was 16 he was living with his Uncle so I am trying to find out why.
Please get in touch & then I can give more info.
Thanks
Michelle
