Daventry WW1 Look-ups (C1911): Charles William Edgar ELLIOTT

[PhilA]

Subject name: Charles William Edgar ELLIOTT  b & lived in 1896 in Daventry. Died of wounds Flanders 26 Apr 1918.

Please could anyone with C1911 kindly look him up (aged 15) for me and hopefully identify his parents, address etc too.

In C1901 aged 5 he was living with his G/mother Sarah Howard (nee Cooper) family - presumably his maternal g/ma side.

http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Northamptonshire/Daventry.html states he is son of Mr & Mrs E Elliott of Daventry but no address and no E Elliotts found in Free BMD. I'm trying to help British Legion to provide more information on the 112 names from WW1 recorded.

Charles enlisted, firstly unusually in Birmingham, and secondly, into 6th Bn Gloucestershire Regt (No 2091813) which could be a clue or a red herring? Died at Corporal rank.

Thanks

I know it is a problem learning all the rules when we are "fairly newbies",
yet they are there to be of great assistance.

Hi again.

Richard and Isobelruss as you know you are both correct about him
being the son of Charles Herbert Elliott and Bessy/ie Howard checking
against the original Parish Records.

The only thing is as Dorothy did not seem to marry ? or Bessy re-marry?
so the trail seems to go cold as to the direct lineage continuing.

I spoke to the CWGC today and they said that without any Military item/
record that belonged to Charles stating his parents names they were not
sure that they could alter the record as a birth certificate would not suffice. 

The information obviously was given to the CWGC after Charles passing
but I can not see a link through the family as to who an "E Elliott" they
have stated as father would have been.

I will list in full the original records in a while in case another relative maybe
following the lineage.
