Thanks Shaun,
This is very helpful.
Captain Malim was 2nd in Command of C Coy of 17th Bttn Manchester Regiment in April 1915.  He was commissioned on 1/1/1915 on the same day as Reginald Ford, an OTC officer from St Bees College.  His Company Commander was Stanley Kenworthy who was a Master of Merchiston Castle and former pupil of St Bees.  Many of the original Officers had connection with Cheshire and I can't see where Edward fitted.
Merry Christmas
Tim

Military Records show a man with this named commissioned in 17th Bttn Manchester Regiment on 1/1/1915. He was later promoted Major and transferred to Machine Gun Corps. Received OBE

I'd like to know more about his upbringing. Was he born in London?  Where was he educated?

Hi
I think Gertrude's husband (nee Thompson) was Fred Lazenby of Ferriby, killed in France in 1918.  They married in Newbald in 1914. Alan was born 1915. I'm trying to trace a relative of Alan's to find out if this is the right family. He died in Beverley in 2000.  It's interesting that the 3rd 1939 entry is blocked out.  This could be another living child.
