(Richard Roberts, <richard.nsw@googlemail.com>, has researched this
soldier's details and comments;-
"The Register of Soldiers’ Effects states his widow was named Elizabeth
A and his Pension Record Card says that she was living in Middlesbrough with
their three children, the youngest born in the Dec Qtr 1916 either just before
or after his father was killed. Looking at the SDGW record, he was certainly
born in Dudley (but Worcestershire not Staffordshire) in 1882 and I strongly
suspect that his place of residence, Mexboro', Yorks is a mistake as by 1891
he was living in Middlesbrough with his parents Samuel and Jessie Hawkins.")
