Pte. Michael Connolly
British Army 15th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers
from:Bury, Lancashire
(d.1st Jul 1916)
I know very little about Michael Connolly other than he was born in Bold Street, Bury, Lancashire in 1891 and died in combat at the age of 23 on 1st July 1916 at Thiepval, Somme, France. Michael was my great uncle, the brother of my paternal Grandmother Mary Ward (nee Connolly) who was born in Bury, 1893, two years younger than Michael. There were two other siblings, Susan and Felix. Susan was also born in 1891, though I do not know whether Michael and Susan were twins. Felix was born in September 1894.
I would love to know any other information about Michael or the people he fought with; those who died and those who survived.
