Help Required.

I am undertaking some research into members of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers who died in the First World War. I am particularly interested in members of the Regiment who are buried in this county.

I know that an old RWF resident of Burwell who died during WW1 is buried in St Mary's. His name is Clifford Edward Bridgeman. I have a photo of his gravestone and also a photo of the plaque in the church in my files. I am trying to find more information about this man.

Is anyone able to shed any more light on this mans life and death ?

Any info gratefully received. Thanks.

I am hoping that someone can help me find out the last name of the family that lived at
23 Martin Rd
Burwell
Cambridge, England
in August, 1953 to April 1954. The lady named Laura was one of my grandmother's sisters. I just recently found two letters written by Laura, this is my first clue for any of my grandmother's relatives. I know nothing of the family except that Laura's maiden name was Holmes and there was another sister named Alice. Alice had a daughter whose name was Winifred. Winifred lived in a lodge in front of Gates (Cates?) of Scarboro Castle. My grandmother's name was Annie Isabel Holmes Lundstrom born Ferbruary 21, 1879 in England. Thank you in advance for your help.
