Lancashire / Eatons in Liverpool around 1900
« on: Monday 28 April 14 21:28 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace what happened to Henrietta Eaton born 4 July 1896 and Alice Clements Eaton born Jan-Mar 1902 in Toxteth Park Liverpool to William and Henrietta Eaton. I have 1911 census info for both and 1901 info for Henrietta but after that nothing - no marriages or deaths that I can see.
Any help gratefully received.

SmallTownGirl found the Gazette entry for me. Details on the card are:
Date of gazette: 12/6/18
Registered paper: 68/121/539
Schedule: 167543
The Corps looks like 15th Bn N+Derby R if that makes sense.

Here's his MM medal card its not on ancestry. He was a Territorial soldier went to war Nov 1915.
So he would've served with either 1/5th, 1/6th, 1/7th or 1/8th battalion going out as a casualty replacement in late 1915.

Thanks, found it and ordered it.

Presumably that was in response to the numbers of men requiring to be given a number.

Thanks to everyone for their help. The main thing is, we have the medals and my mum is having them re-ribboned and mounted. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do at this time.
If anyone has any more info, I'll happily take it. I might talk to the regiment and see if they have anything about deployments etc. that could be useful in giving us a more detailed picture of where he served.

4008 Private
201297 Private
That's just 2 out of quite a few possibles, further information would be needed as mentioned.
Regards always.
Frank.

Just heard back from my mum - we think that his number is 201297 as it, and his name, is on his Military Medal.

NOK mother Sarah.
Could this be him ?
His mother was Sarah and there is a medal record for that name and service number at Kew. It could be that the age is just wrong.
