Hi
Looking for inscription on Grave 578 [Extension section] of William Edward McAvoy [2 2 1968] and [Dorothy 5 5 1949].

Specifically need his date of birth

Thanks

Yes, have done that, waiting for reply. I have possible birth in Q1 1887 too. But that is one year off his age when he attested in Army 1904. May have lied. Looking for his date of birth to verify. I am hoping it may be on the stone. Thanks.

If he was at Shorncliffe in 1911 the the place of birth matches that birth

Hi Roise
Not clear about the reference to Shorncliffe. I believe he was still overseas in the army then. Thanks
