Thanks. I'm well flummoxed now as when I tried the 1911 census site it drew a blank.  It must be the right person.  I'm sure he'll be recorded on a memorial somewhere...  It's just that his one remaining niece, my great aunt is still living.  She got some peace of mind when we tracked down his Commonwealth War Grave record.

Can anyone please tell me whether there is a War Memorial in the Sculcoates area? 

I am trying to trace my great great uncle Walter Dixon.  He was a private in the East Yorkshire regiment and was killed in the First World War.  I have details of his grave in France via the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, but wondered whether he is remembered on a memorial in England.  I last have him age 25 living in 1901 as a boarder at 39 Cave Street.  He was an ironmongers clerk, b. 1876 in Winterton, Lincolnshire.  His father Robert Dixon was a cab (hansom cab) proprietor in Sculcoates in the 1890s.  By 1901 his parents were living in Hotham, Yorks.
