(The CWGC and SDGW records show the above soldier as "John Read".
Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) has researched the above
soldier and makes the following comment;-
" In the soldiers’ effects records his sister, Frances, as the
sole legatee. I found a John Blackbourn Read born in Flixborough about 1891
with older sister Frances living 12 miles away from Flixborough in East Ferry
with father William, a widowed farmer, and three more siblings. The birth
of a John Blackbourn Read was registered in the Sept Qtr 1891 in the Glanford
Brigg RD in which Flixborough is one of the places. John’s name doesn’t
of course appear in the 1891 Census but the rest of his family does including
his mother Annie who died a few months later in the Dec Qtr also in the Glanford
Brigg RD. Again in the Glanford Brigg RD a William Read married Annie Blackbourn
in the Dec Qtr 1877 so John’s middle name was his mother’s maiden
name.")
