Thank you, I am sure I tried different spellings bur perhaps I didn't

How does your friend know that he was a WW1 casualty?

There are deaths of a couple of men named E Haywood on the CWGC site, but giving no age nor names of relatives, so impossible to know if they are, or aren't, the man you're interested in - or even what the first name is.




E HAYWOOD
Private
Service Number: 36045
23rd (Tyneside Scottish) Bn.
Northumberland Fusiliers
United Kingdom
Died 20 January 1918
BUCQUOY ROAD CEMETERY, FICHEUX
II. F. 14.
France




E HAYWOOD

57th Bty.
Royal Field Artillery
United Kingdom
Died 04 November 1916
GUARDS' CEMETERY, LESBOEUFS
X. Y. 2.
France

[ But on the Burial Return form on the CWGC site, this man's name is shown as Hayward, not Haywood.]

He is researching the GNR WW1 casualties and that is all I know. I should have said he is an acquaintance not a friend met through our History Society. I will change this on my original post.
His birth says Hayward which I looked for but not Haywood

Thank you for those 2, I did see those but I was looking for Hayward not Haywood, his birth record threw me

The name of the man who died in 1916 seems to vary between Haywood and Hayward.

This man had sisters Kate, Blanche, Mary (Mrs David), and Ada (Mrs Kenyon), a brother Leslie, and a sister-in-law Jessie, according to the Register of Soldiers' Effects..

The one who died in 1918 had a wife named Bertha, and a child named Ernest:

Biography added to findagrave record;

"Private Ernest Haywood, Northumberland Fusiliers, of 41 Manchester Street, Derby, died of wounds in France on 20th January 1918 aged 29. He was buried at Bucquay Road Cemetery, Ficheux, Pas de Calais, France.

Bertha Haywood, his wife, died on 18th August 1920 aged 29."

I am looking through newspapers to see if I can identify the men you have mentioned, no luck yet but I am still looking.

I think I have found a death in 1913 which is more than likely him. This fella was a railway worker but died on the Railway line not in the war. All the family names fit as does the address for his father that matches with the 1911 census.

Thank you so much for your help it is very much appreciated .If you had not pointed out the spelling I would probably never have found him
