We have a village project to research the lives of the 12 residents of Powerstock who are remembered on the First World War memorial in the church.

My daughter and I have discovered much about the life of Sidney John Styles from public records, but we have been unable to track down any photographs or other personal information about him.

He was one of eight children, all born in Weymouth. We believe there are also grandchildren and great grandchildren of his siblings still living in Weymouth.

His brother William Henry Styles and his sister Mabel Bessie Styles seem to be our best bet.

If any readers can help with this we would be most grateful for any information they can give us.

We will of course be pleased to share our work.
