rosie99 many thanks. aghadowey is correct he was named for his father, born 1st Feb 1892. I believed he served in the navy during WW 1 and was part of the evacuation of Gallipoli. Can I ask are there any more details of inscription or a photo. I have been looking since 2018 believing he had returned to Northern Ireland.

Hortus cemetery is in Southall, Middlesex. It may be worth asking on Findagrave website if someone can take a better photo or transcribe the wording for you.

It is always kind of people to respond, and I am always indebted. However no reply has as yet answered the question I posed.

That actually is not how we work around here.
Often we have to work around the topic making sure we have the correct person, set them in the correct time frame etc.
There was much information provided. This takes people time, and some times money and it is great to thank people on the board as you go.
A tip.
If you thank, summarise the info you have received, make it clear what you have and your thoughts as to childhood etc it may stimulate more investigation as posters know you are active, engaged and grateful for the work that has been done. I think also your initial request was a bit vague, what sort of things were you after? For instance if you know a sibling went to XYZ school it is worth posing the question about whether your person went there as well.

ETA I see you have not been back onto the other thread basically since posting it.
