For what it's worth I can give you a few more relevant details.<br />Louis had another brotherTom and a sister Eva who were both living with grandfather William White at 6 College Square, Camlough.I am unaware of a sister Hannah, but who knows!<br />Louis' father died in1917, his mother was penniless and Louis was sent to the Masonic School at Richview in Dublin where subsequently he became Captain of Rugby and Cricket. He played as a wing three quarter for Monkstown whilst still at school and upon moving to Belfast played for the North of Ireland RFC.<br />He was married to Connie on October 6 1939.<br />I think I am correct in saying that he was made Manager of the Crumlin branch of the Bank intbe midsixties but he retired on grounds of ill health in 1970, when he and my mother decided to join my wife and I in New Zealand. My mother died August 10 ,1980 and Louis followed her on 27January1982.<br />Thank you so much for your interest. I remember my father talking about Louis Bamford.

I was able to use it to identify his family from the 1911 Irish Census.

However, may I correct a small error, in that Louis White was born in Coothill, Co. Cavan at17 Bridge Street. <br />He served at Dunkirk and in India and Burma from April 1942 to the end of the war.<br />Louis died in Auckland, New Zealand.<br />I am most grateful that you have taken the trouble to complete this research.<br />Regards,<br />Michael White,<br />AucklandMike Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771443266462769012noreply@blogger.com
