Hi mack
Luke Vince (13th Manchesters) of 18 Ariele St, Salford isn't a relative - as far as I know! Can you send me his medal card for the Museum?
From what you have sent me & from what we have discussed so far I would think his brother was definitely Alphonse Vince (12th Manchesters) - last known at 25 James Henry St, Salford. Also not a relative as far as I know! I have his medal card alongside Alfonso's - also for the Museum.
If these 2 Vinces were brothers (with parents Frank & Margaret & another brother, Felix, all resident at 26 Harry St, Ordsall) the Museum of Manchester Regiment will probably want to know more or even set wheels in motion to find out what themselves.
For example did Felix enter WW1 in a Manchester Regiment? Do you know & if so can you find & send his medal card to me for the Museum please.
I will definitely go these 3 locations when next in Manchester & will let you know what I find out. Perhaps we are related so wouldn't that be amazing!! If more of interest will involve the Salford Forum as you suggest either through me or the Museum.
Through research of my grandad I have contact now with a cousin Tim Vince. We plan to meet up soon. Alfonso Vince (my grandfathers elder brother)was his grandfather.
