This is the problem with very long threads ... we lose track of what was posted in them back at the beginning or in the middle ...
Charles Staveley c1897 living in Yorkshire, born in North Burton, was a wagonner on a farm.
His birth was registered in March quarter 1897 (could have been born in late 1896) in Bridlington registration district.
Unfortunately there was also a Charles Henry Staveley born in the same district, in Burton Fleming, a couple of years earlier. That one married in 1915. In 1911 he, believe it or not, was also a waggoner on a farm, but he was living on his family's farm.
I don't see a marriage or death that could be identified as the Charles c1897, but it isn't possible to know for sure, because the name is not too uncommon and he could have gone elsewhere after the war. (Is there an address in the military file for him at the time of his discharge, or where his medals were sent?)
anneelaine -- what was Annie Jones's mother's name?
(and father's name if you know)
There was an Annie E Jones living in Burnley, born c1895, with parents Lewis and Sarah Jane, who was a cotton weaver.
If that were your Annie, it would certainly explain how she could have met the Charles Staveley from Burnley who had gone to Canada.
What did your Annie do after she had Gladys?
Did she marry?
Do you know when and where she died?
