Tony Ferguson Posted 28 December , 2020 Share Posted 28 December , 2020 I would like to find more information on William Clark whose grave is in the Parish Church at Chalfont St Giles. He died on Nov 9th, 1918 in a hospital in Newcastle, two days before the end of the war aged 18. He was in the 5th Reserve Batallion of the Royal Warwicks. Any clues on cause of death would be appreciated and any other information. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 28 December , 2020 Share Posted 28 December , 2020 (edited) 2 Pension ledger cards. One says Influenza and Pneumonia - so Spanish flu I assume. Nok are Father Charles and mother E. Address of Nok Chalfont St Giles, Bucks. Effects record says died at 1st Northern General Hospital, Newcastle. Soldier Died in Great Chalfont St Giles is place of birth and enlisted Aylesbury. No overseas service - no gratuity. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/34715684/william-clark This may well be the 1911 census for him here. Mother Eliza Eliza seems to be stepmum. Same family in 1901 has Mary as mother see here He is 6 months old at 1901 census and so suggests he was only just past his 18th birthday in Nov 1918 Edited 28 December , 2020 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ferguson Posted 4 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 4 January , 2021 Mark tremendous help and very much appreciated! Tragically his 23 year old sister died on the same day and his brother in law was killed earlier that week (ie the last week of the war) Many thanks for your assistance Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
