Is this the right J Jukes

[mkeeble]

Hi,
One of my brickwalls has always been what happened to Joseph Mountford Jukes. He was born on the 10 Apr 1877 in Wordsley, Kingswinford to Samuel Jukes and Ann Bullas. Until 1901 he remained in the Wordsley area before marrying on the 12 Nov 1905 to Lucy Beresford in St Peter and St Paul;s Church in Aston, Birmingham. With Lucy he had three children, the last on the 21 Feb 1911. The 1911 census shows him as Joseph Jukes living in Stafford Road, Cannock with occupation Coal Miner.

In 1917 Lucy Jukes remarries in Lancashire.

What happened to Joseph ? There are no obvious deaths but there is one record I always come back to which is death of Joseph Jukes on the 19 Dec 1914 in France:
UK Soldiers died in the Great War, 1914-1919 about Joseph Jukes:
Name: Joseph Jukes
Birth place: Birmingham
Death date: 19 Oct 1914
Death location: France & Flanders
Enlistment location: Birmingham, Warwicks
Rank: Cororal
Regiment: Royal Hose Artillery and Royal Field Artillery
Number: 52915
Type of casualty: Killed in action
Theatre of war: Western European Theatre

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can proove whether this is "my" Joseph Jukes ?

Went quite cold when I looked at the medal card and against Action Taken it just says 'Dead 19.10.14'.

Doesn't seem likely to be same man.

The soldier was killed in 1914 and had already been promoted twice (he's a Corporal), and there is not much time between the census in spring 1911 and the death in autumn 1914 for enlistment and two promotions.

Further, Joseph M Jukes would have been at least 33 years old to enlist after the 1911 census, and this, too, seems unlikely.
