The 1861 Census shows that Tween House was occupied by Isabella Ann Nager and her family. Isabella is described as being a 46 year old widowed Inn Keeper.

I can't find anything after this.

Find My Past have two medical records for him under service number 1964 ----

4th Stationary Hospital, St Omer -- declared that he was 19 years of age and had been in the Army for 1 full year. Date of admission not recorded but he was discharged to duty on 23/7/1915. He had been admitted for a Carbuncle.

2nd General Hospital, Le Havre -- declared that he was in '2 Company', age 17 years, had been in the army or 1 full year and 'in the field' for 9 months. He was admitted on the 8/10/1915 and discharged to duty on the 14/11/1915. He had been admitted with a 'Whitlow, thumb' -- it must have been badly infected as he was in hospital for 38 days.

A search of the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1995 has failed to find anything for him. Not everyone left a will or an estate where probate had to be applied for by the family.
