I am trying to trace any relatives of mine, surname Starbuck, that might have died in the First World War. Midlands region, Staffs/Leics. If anyone has any details please let me know, many thanks.
There is a Thomas Starbuck on the cwgc site he was Lance bombardier 14127 died 27/9/1918 age 23 Royal Field Artillery commemorated in Sarigol military cemetry Kriston
Have a look on http://www.cwgc.org site and enter just Starbuck in the surname search there are quite a few Starbucks in the areas you mentioned. To find out more details of mother/father or spouse and address tap on the underlined name. Very useful when following you family tree.
I'm a student historian and have been performing this exact same task. I work as a volunteer for the British War Graves project, and we have load of people called Starbuck on our database, in some cases we also have photo's of the graves.
If you need any help e-mail me and i'll see what I can turn up for you
