Death, burial & memorialisation

This page focuses on death, burial and memorialisation. In many cases, there is considerably more information in the EJBA e.g about his childhood, military career, medals, discharge, and family and later life, but this is not being posted online at the moment. If you can contribute photographs (for example showing the current state of a grave or memorial) or additional information, or have a particular interest, please contact the editors.

Birth & early life

Death & burial

He is said to have died at Wolverley, near Kidderminster, in 1874, and to be buried in the churchyard of St. John the Baptist. However, an intensive check shows no trace of a gravestone having been erected.
