Flamstead Posted 2 June , 2011 Share Posted 2 June , 2011 Last year a project was begun to record all those men from the Parish of Eckington, Derbyshire who died in the two World Wars.

Flamstead Posted 2 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 June , 2011 My apologies, the formatting seems to have gone wrong on this list of names - I will try and sort out why. Whilst I'm on here I should just say that the above list includes a number of villages within the Eckington Parish boundary. Including, Renishaw, Ridgeway, Halfway, Mosborough, Marsh Lane.

Adam Llewellyn Posted 2 June , 2011 Share Posted 2 June , 2011 There are a few Leicestershire Regiment men with connections to Eckington, what information do you already have? Regards. Llew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian N Posted 2 June , 2011 Share Posted 2 June , 2011 Hi Sounds a great project, my step great grandfather was born in Eckington in 1880. He was in the Middlesex Regiment and survived. His name was Albert Shonhut, his father having emigrated from Germany a couple of years before Albert was born. They were pork butchers in the centre of Eckington Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamstead Posted 2 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 June , 2011 Hi Llew / Steve Morse, Thanks for your messages. I do indeed have quite a bit more information on many of these men (although there are always the "unknowns") and will send that to you by PM.

Flamstead Posted 2 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 June , 2011 Hi Ian, Thanks for that. This all began because I lived in Eckington from 1979 to 1986 and still have family in the area. I was at the Parish Church (Sts Peter & Paul) on Remembrance Sunday 2010 and listened to them read out the names of the fallen and realised that half of those named only had initials rather than a full name. It seemed a shame to me that, almost a century later, we couldn't find christian names for them all so decided to try and do something about it. Since then it has just grown and grown as a project - don't they always ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBattle Posted 2 June , 2011 Share Posted 2 June , 2011 It's a little off topic, but I can't see Cissie Woodward in the CWGC Debt of Honour..... I assume she is either a Civilian War Dead or one of the Womens services, but couldn't find an entry that seemed to match.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamstead Posted 3 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 3 June , 2011 Yes - Cissie Woodward is one of those for whom I can currently find no further information. All I know is that she is named on the Halfway War Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Smedley Posted 15 July , 2011 Share Posted 15 July , 2011 I am related to about 20 people that are recorded on the War memorials in the Parish of Eckington. I also have further info on some of the other names from both wars. I also have info on other nearby Memorials, for example Killamarsh. Lance Corporal Charles Bennett (25544) 17th Battalion Notts and Derbyshire Regiment, son of Edwin and Augusta Bennett, I have their picture. Augusta's mother was a Smedley from Eckington and is related to Samuel George Smedley and Frederick Smedley who's name are recorded on the Eckington War Memorial and several others.

Brian Smedley Posted 17 July , 2011 Share Posted 17 July , 2011 Steve, Please don't release the picture of Samuel George Smedley without stating courtesy of the Smedley and Whiteheads families. You made that mistake before and lost out on further 9th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters information including a postcard. With regards to Cissie Woodward who is recorded on the Halfway War Memorial, Parish of Eckington. Many years ago an old lady used to come and place flowers on the memorial. The card read Happy Birthday Cissie, it was about this time of year. The old lady may have been her mother, aunt, or sibling. I interviewed an old gentleman a few years ago who shall remain nameless, he stated that a family called Woodward lived on Palmer Street at Halfway. The houses on Palmer Street were knocked down in the 1950's, most of the men would have worked at nearby Holbrook Colliery. Further information can be provided on several more men that died in the first world war and there connections to historical events before, during and after the first world war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamstead Posted 18 July , 2011 Author Share Posted 18 July , 2011 Hi Gents, Many thanks for the recent correspondance on this thread - that will serve me right for going away for a long weekend to Herefordshire and not checking my e-mails ) RammyLad1 - many thanks for those best wishes, they are much appreciated. Brian Smedley - I think, given the amount of information you are describing, it would be best for me to e-mail you a copy of what I have so far. Could you please let me have an e-mail address for you (please feel free to send it to me by PM if you would prefer). Steve Morse - I hope you will forgive me but I can't now remember if I sent you a copy of my database or if I just requested your e-mail address so that I could send it to you. Maybe you might like to let me know. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBattle Posted 18 July , 2011 Share Posted 18 July , 2011 Brian needs to get to 5 posts before the PM system is available to him, so perhaps a reply to you Simon will get him there and then you can swap details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REGIN23 Posted 2 November , 2012 Share Posted 2 November , 2012 I am interested if anybody is aware of a Harry Marshall of Eckington who I believe was a casualty in the Great War. His name was mentioned during a Service for the fallen in 1919. Another from Eckington was mentioned, Frank Humphries - I have been able to find his CWGC record. Both were apparently Bellringers at Eckington. Thanks in advance. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamstead Posted 12 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 12 November , 2012 Hi Alan, Unfortunately, I don't have any information on Harry Marshall but i do have the following on Frank Humphries (although I think you will already have much of it) ... HUMPHRIES Frank Teece Sergeant 240849 2nd/6th Bn Sherwood Foresters 28 September 1917 Age 21 Son of Isaac & Mary Ann Humphries of 40 Church St, Eckington VII E 17 Dozinghem Military Cemetery, Poperinge, West Vlaanderen, Belgium b. Eckington enlisted Eckington He is named on Eckington War Memorial. I would certainly be very interested to include anything further on Harry Marshall or Frank Humphries in a little database I am compiling if you discover anymore. Can I ask what your interest is in these men - I grew up in Eckington and actually have family who are currently bellringers at the Parish Church.

aradgick Posted 12 November , 2012 Share Posted 12 November , 2012 I can empathise with looking for Harry Marshall. I am researching men from the Bracknell, Berkshire area and I have a Henry W Marshall on my list of names. I've identified the man but not his military details (there is an error is SDGW as the William Marshall listed as being from Bracknell is actually from Brightwell) Andrewr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Underdown Posted 12 November , 2012 Share Posted 12 November , 2012 Can I ask what your interest is in these men - I grew up in Eckington and actually have family who are currently bellringers at the Parish Church. Simon Simon, in case Alan doesn't see this for a while, CCCBRROH = Central Council for Church Bell Ringers Roll of Honour, Alan is responsible for the rolls and ensuring they are as comprehensive as possible, see http://www.cccbr.org.uk/rolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamstead Posted 12 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 12 November , 2012 Hi David, Many thanks for that explanation - I must admit that I hadn't previously been aware of the CCCBRROH so that's filled a gap in my knowledge. The Roll Of Honour on the website looks a very worthy project so I'm happy to help Alan further if I can. If he would care to send me a Personal Message, with all the information he has on Harry Marshall then I might be able to ask if any of the current Eckington ringers have any information. Regards, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REGIN23 Posted 12 November , 2012 Share Posted 12 November , 2012 Dear Simon, Thanks for posting a reply. As David mentions above I look after the Bell Ringers Roll of Honour, do please have a look at the link above. I am an active Bell Ringer in London I have been researching historical copies of the Bell Ringers Weekly Magazine, "The Ringing World". I noticed a report of a Service of Remembrance that was held in Sheffield Cathedral to honour the fallen in 1919. It mentions a Roll of Honour with a number of names, among which was one Harry Marshall who was shown as being from Eckington - The Bell Ringers Roll of Honour does not list anybody with that name or in fact anybody from Eckington. Having looked again at the list that started this topic I think I may have worked it out, near the top there is listed one "Harry Marshall Barker", possibly the Roll of Honour or simply the Report in the Ringing World missed his Surname? CWGC Has: Private H M Barker, 13790 12th Bn. West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Own) Died 19/05/1916 and Buried at La Laiterie Military Cemetery Son of Mrs. W. Barker, of 43, Marshall Rd., Woodseats, Sheffield. Soldiers Died has additionally that he was Born: Ridgeway, Chesterfield, Derbyshire and Enlisted at Sheffield Any thoughts?
