Dear Sarah,
I was wondering if you could help me. There is a project running about Tetleys Brewery in the First World War as part of the Leeds Stories of the
Great War project.
https://www.facebook.com/LeedsStoriesOfTheGreatWar
I am taking part in the project as a volunteer. I was looking at the old office wage book and noticed two Reveleys. One was William who was killed in

1916 and I am not yet sure who the other was. I have looked at all the details relating to William on the Ancestry site and found a fantastic family tree by Kathryn Bennett which has helped a lot. I then discovered your emails on rootsweb.  Would you have any details ( e.g. photos, anecdotes, contacts) about William, or indeed any other family members who worked in Tetleys during the First World War. It is hoped at the end to create a display in the new Tetley Art Gallery in Leeds or set up a website.

I look forward to hearing from you.
