I am trying to locate my great grandfather Charles Gardner who I am assuming was born around 1880 to 1890.
i only have a photograph of him taken in the Navy. this photo I have is over 100 years old as I do know that his best friend Charles Albert Birks who is also on the photograph died in the Battle of Jutland in 1916. However my family have told me that Charles Gardner did visit our home town of Hull to speak to Birks wife after his death. Assuming this is right this would mean that he either was not in the Battle of Jutland or simply was a survivor.
i am also told that he was from London, again I am unable to confirm or deny this. All of my research has provided me with lots of Charles Gardners and unfortunately I do not know which one it is.
my one last hope is that someone will recognise him from my photo.
So if anyone has a Charles Gardner born around 1880 to 1890 from the London area who was in the Royal Navy Or know he had connections to Hull I would greatly appreciate it if they would contact me and I would forward the photo. ( I am unsure if I can post this photo on this thread)
waiting ith hope, Tracey
