	Can anyone help me? I have been contacted from Aus by someone who thinks we have a connection ,I am not sure he has the correct family but would like to help if possible His grandfather James Higginbotham was a Royal Marine and was lost with the Prince of Wales on 10 Dec 1941,his father was only 2 at the time and so never knew him and he is havng difficulty finding out much. I have found the following re James Higginbotham Marine from the website James Higginbotham age 24 Parents-Michael Higginbotham & Maggie Higginbotham Gartgosh> Lanarkshire It is the mothers maiden which would help - he (also a Michael H) thinks it was Margaret McArdle Any help appreciated :-) :-)
