I believe my great grandfather was called Charles, and died at Paschendale in WWI.
I have recently emigrated from England to Australia...
I would like to know more...
Regards,

: : Hello!
: : My Grandmother was called Ada Manttan. She lived in Coventry but came originally from nearby Warwick. She had a brother Charles who was killed in World War one. Ada died in 1926, in her late thirties I think. If you have any family tree information on Manttans from this area and this time period, I would love to know!
: Hello Jan:
: My family originated in Warwick in England and I have a lot of info, especially on the lot that migrated to Australia( my ancestors).
: The only ADA I have amongst over a thousand names was (I think) a Manttan by marriage to a Ronald who was born in the early 1900's. I don't believe it is 'your' Ada. I do have several Charles's but would need more info to see if we can connect.
: Can you give me your Grandmother's parent's full names? or any other info that may help the link.
: If she came from Warwick, I have no doubt we are related somewhere. The name was originally spelt MANTON which was a very common name in Warwick apparently, and a few of the family several generations back changed the spelling to Manttan.
: Anyway, hope to hear from you.
