Historical search reveals local links
AN intriguing historical search unearthed the living descendant of two Avenbury brothers killed during World War One.
Well-honed local knowledge and dogged-determination by the chairman
of Bromyard and District Local History Society located the surviving
niece of James Turner and William John Turner who both died serving
their country.
The discovery will form part of an exhibition entitled WW1-90 Years On at the History Centre in June.
Mandy Palmer, chairman of the society, said: "While we were carrying
out research for the exhibition we discovered that two brothers from
Birch Hall, Avenbury, had lost their lives in The Great War.
"Having two sons of my own I couldn't begin to imagine how dreadful this must have been for their family."

School journos are praised
PUPILS at Bredenbury Primary School are hot on the heels of the Malvern Gazette & Ledbury Reporter with a commendation from a school newspaper competition.
An editorial group was formed by year six students to produce a paper in one day for the national Newsday 2008 contest.
Their journalistic juices were quickly flowing as they tapped sources, followed up leads and scoured the school for breaking news.
Teacher Elizabeth Williams said: "Everyone submitted articles, even the four-year-olds. The editorial team found it quite hectic, especially when the computers went down."
The finished paper included content as diverse as interviews, sports reports, quizzes, local news and even a property section.
The judges praised The Bredenbury Times as a fine newspaper with a wealth of well-written articles.
