If I read correctly Yes From his Dispersal Certificate his address is 26 Moxon Terrace, Old lane, Halifax. His next of kin is his brother Joseph a postman from Preston 1901, 1911, Census 5, St Joseph’s Terrace, Preston, Lancashire. Possible mother Margaret b. 1854 Ireland from 1901 Census. Hope this helps I have to go now. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
