Dear Lisa
There is the following on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site:
In Memory of
Serjeant JOSEPH FITZHENRY
13005993, Pioneer Corps
who died age 42
on 12 June 1946
Son of Joseph and Elizabeth Sarah Fitzhenry, of Barnsley.
Remembered with honour
BARNSLEY CEMETERY
I initially thought that this meant that Elizabeth was Joseph's mother. However, I can now see from your information that Elizabeth was his step-mother, as Priscilla would have died when Joseph was only 4 years old.
The 1901 census gives Joseph senior's birthplace as Wigan, and his birth was registered in Wigan in the first quarter of 1882. I have more information about this particular Fitzhenry family in Wigan if you wish to contact me.
