Yes the soldiers are mine, pitty their wasn't a photo of Sam At least it lets me know that his wife couldn't have married her brother in law Ernest if he was killed also.
So the marriage certificate is still a mystery as to who Ernest is.

It does look as though the marriage of Margaret Howarth To Herbert Matthews is right as Margaret Matthews is on the army documents

Thank you

Thank you for your help

I'll have to go into this I was hoping The forces record would have his enlisting forms my own granddad was killed in WW1 and the document I saw for him had his wife and children on.

With this family I found out that samuel Howarth 1883 married poss 1910 had 2/3 children Nora 1910? Emily 1912 & Sam 1914, Sam junior was killed in WW1 his wfe Maggie nee Byrne remarried,
When Sam junior married in 1939 he put his father down as Ernest Howarth but asking about it I found Ernest was his step dad.
Bit complicated !!

Lancashire Landing Cemetery:

Country:Turkey (including Gallipoli)
)Identified Casualties:1102

Historical Information

The eight month campaign in Gallipoli was fought by Commonwealth and French forces in an attempt to force Turkey out of the war, to relieve the deadlock of the Western Front in France and Belgium, and to open a supply route to Russia through the Dardanelles and the Black Sea.

The Allies landed on the peninsula on 25-26 April 1915; the 29th Division at Cape Helles in the south and the Australian and New Zealand Corps north of Gaba Tepe on the west coast, an area soon known as Anzac.

At Helles, the 29th Division landed troops at 'S,' 'V,' 'W,' 'X' and 'Y' Beaches, five small coves at or near the southern end of the peninsula. The landing at 'Y' Beach (Gurkha Bluffs) was carried out by the 1st King's Own Scottish Borderers and the Plymouth Battalion of the Royal Naval Division, but these troops were forced to re-embark on the following day. The 2nd Royal Fusiliers landed at 'X' Beach, followed by the rest of the 87th Brigade. Under very severe fire, the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers landed on 'W' Beach and cut their way through wire entanglements and trenches to the edge of the cliff. They and the other battalions of the 88th Brigade established themselves on the hills of Tekke Burnu and Helles Burnu. The beach became known as Lancashire Landing.

The greater part of the cemetery (Rows A to J and part of Row L) was made between the landing in April 1915 and the evacuation of the peninsula in January 1916. Row I contains the graves of over 80 men of the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers who died in the first two days following the landing. The 97 graves in Row K and graves 31 to 83 in Row L were brought in after the Armistice from the following Aegean islands cemeteries:-

There is also a bit about E. Howarth wounded in action at The Somme and invalided home. When he had recover sufficiently, he spent the remainder of the war doing agricultural work in Oxford. The address given for him is Birch Road, Moss-side, Manchester.

Just wondering if that is your Ernest Samuel and his life was shorten due to wartime injuries?

A possibility???

There is this birth reg:



Births Jun 1885 (>99%)
Howarth Ernest Samuel Chorlton 8c 889

and this death reg:

Deaths Sep 1931 (>99%)
Howarth Ernest S 46 Manchester S. 8d

which would fit if Ernest was sometimes known as Sam. (The death in 1931 would fit with the deceased father Ernest on the marriage cert in 1939)

I too have just started to do an in-law tree and I have a word of advice ... ask questions. I was given very minimal info and started to dig, spent a lot of time digging and even sent for one or two certificates, then I hit a bit of a brick wall. I asked about it and the in-laws came up with a whole pile of info that I'd spent hours searching for. Prod them for every bit of info you can - save yourself time and money. Now Iknow to ask questions before I delve too deep.
