May be a first marriage??
Name: William A Weatherston
Spouse Surname: Gertrude E Tyrer
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1921
Registration district: West Derby
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8b

Holly van Kleeck (Member No. 13789775) - doesn't think the W A Weatherston listing on the plaque is her relative. The CWGC entry is hers.

For the record, Bowater did have a Paper Mill in Ellesmere Port, which might explain why some of the entries had a home address in Cheshire

I have been unable to work this one out- I still think he is the son of Robert Albert Austin. I have sent a message to user name 'teridon1' on Ancestry, giving her details of the link -she has some photos of Robert and Elizabeth on her tree and appears to be an active member.

GRAHAM, JOHN HENRY

This one is on 1911 census with parents of John And Maud (Charlotte) in Southwark reg dist. Think he married in 1935 also Southwark. Not yet found any connection to Kent

Parking these overnight - they both died at the Bowater shelter in Lambeth. Could that be why they are listed?
