He married Charity Warren in 1912 and then Charity re-married in 1925

They only had the one child in 1915 - Mary Alice so it looks like he disappeared around the war years.

There is a tree on Ancestry which links his death with this death:

UK, Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-1919 about Joseph Smith
Name: Joseph Smith
Death Date: 11 Sep 1918
Death Place: France and Flanders
Enlistment Place: Atherton, Lancs
Rank: Private
Regiment: Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
Battalion: 1st 4th Battalion (Territorial Force)
Regimental Number: 42010 ................*** should be 42019 !!!
Type of Casualty: Killed in action
Theatre of War: Western European Theatre
Comments: Formerly 400925, Manchester Regiment

There are several errors on the tree so it can't be totally relied on, however, the marriage to Charity and her subsequent marriage to Joseph Marshall do make sense. She did have one child to her second husband and his birth confirms that she was originally Charity Warren.

I can let you have more details tomorrow but won't be in till late as I have to be up and out at silly o'clock 'coz I have a date with a plastic surgeon ;-) :-0 :-(

Oh Linds - I do wish they would sort something out for them, it is obvious that they really do need proper help and very soon.

Dea Xxx

Aw....how upsetting Linds :-(

Gins you are a twat :-)

Dea nearby? Still staying at home :-)

Went to visit J's parents his Mum was having one of her bad days.

Really bad the worst I have ever seen her.

She didn't want us to leave was crying and upset.

Such a shame and horrible to see her like that.

Remarkably Dea, no

What a numpty!

Good grief Ginns - Hasn't that left stains on them??

Perhaps you had better not get those glasses or you might be able to see the marks !! ;-) :-0

Dea Xxx

I've been spraying Febreze on my soft furnishing for the last week.......

Only just realised..............it's Flash, with Fabreze :-0

Think I might some gigs!

Sounds like a step in the right direction Linds and he can still 'enjoy' his music.

Will he still be close by when he is studying ?

Dea,

He has told the band he is leaving. he loved the travelling but he had to take unpaid leave from work. What they made didn't give him much extra cash.

He is helping on their next album but is fed up working in asda. He wants a job with a future so at long last has recognised that he needs to do something to achieve that goal.

so saying he has just bought another guitar :-D

Cynthia - would a Joseph Smith from Nel Pan Lane, Westleigh be any use to you?

Dea x

Le Tour is in my city today

Yum.....eggs and toms please :-)

Good morning all :-)

Full English today (or any parts thereof) ;-)

And for pud - blueberry muffins fresh from the oven.

Dea Xxx

Yes Dea, I think he could well be. <3 <3

Nite nite now all !!!!!

Dea Xxx

Do you think that he could be the one then Cynths ???
