Note that the Maiden Names of both Aircraftman Thomas Wallace Cunningham's mother and wife do not match the information on CWGG.
His mother's Maiden Name according to the stone was Sneddon and his wife's Maiden Name was Farrell |
The CWGC details are correct. Love and Turner are not maiden surnames, they are middle names _________________ Jim
