Pte Stanley Booth #21450 KLR CWGC

Hopefully a quick one, his pension record was awarded to his mother, her address amended to 22 Hodge Street, Walkden, Lancs.

I've got a blank on the parents in 1921, and right through to the 1939 Register at 50 Gayton Rd, Harrow where widowed father Frederick appears, he died 1943.

Any info on what happened to his mother please ?

thanks

Dave

Stanley Booth:-

Stanley was born in Salford in the fourth quarter of 1896, the son of Frederick Booth and his wife Mary (nee Jones) who were married on the 22nd June 1893 at St Matthew, Stretford. Frederick was a 32 year old insurance agent, father Charles, whilst Mary was a widow aged 35, father William Jones. She originally married Joseph Harrop on the 24th March 1886 at St Matthew but he died just a few weeks later. Stanley was baptised at St. Luke's Church, Weaste on 04th October 1896.  

By 1911 the family have moved to Egremont, living at 22 Glenalmond Road. Stanley is now 14 and a school boy living with his parents and 16 year old sister Doris. Father Frederick was aged 49, an insurance superintendent, mother Mary was aged 53 and they had been married for 17 years with two children.

Thanks Allan, she seems to be widowed on that one, not born in Manchester.

She would have been about 62 in 1920, nothing obvious here
