Sorry, Margaret, my crappy reading and adding. Kesia 1891to Bessie 1906 is 15, not 25.
To Kay??? For some reason I am barred from the site you hyperlinked, something to do with my IP address. Way over my head. Not bothered as I think I have gained enough info from you lovely people. God Bless. D.

This could be the child who died:


Births Jun 1898 (>99%)
Timperley Samuel Ezra Altrincham 8a 189


Deaths Jun 1898 (>99%)
Timperley Samuel Ezra 0 Altrincham 8a 123

Alice a widow is at no 45 Rudmason St. 1911.and bn in Norfolk.

Possible marriage of parents?


Marriages Sep 1893 (>99%)

I don't know who Alice Griffiths is but as I said her name is not on the original.
Where did you get the 25 year spread in the birth of her kids? They range in age from 5 to 17 on the census, they couldn't have been married more than 17 years as the eldest is 17.

Thank you, Margaret, a couple of points I don't understand. Who is Alice Griffiths? Not seen her name before.
Although I don't have a marriage yet for John & Ellen, the 'married 17 years sounds od as there is a 25 year spread in the birth of the kids. You are spot on with all the names though. Nice pic of your Gt Gran, best I can do is my maternal gran. God Bless. D.

This seems to be him in 1911.

Thanks for the added info folks. I have since found he went to France with the 1 Battalion Volunteers. Your new bit is about Egypt. A discrepancy arises when you have him listed as a private whereas the CWGC has him as a Lance Corporal. I am assuming that in times of wear errors were made. He is on the Regent Square Memorial as 10503 l/Cpl Timperley w.e. CR. I am now closing this line on him and looking at his family to see if he had siblings. Thanks again for your sterling work. D.

Williams medal card is on Ancestry. It states that he entered France on 19/1/1915 and qualified for the 15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. Before he was in the 3rd Cheshires it is possible he was in a different battalion, say 2nd Cheshires who did a stint in France before moving to the Egypt / Salonica theatre. longlongtrail.co.uk suggests that the 3rd Cheshire was a training Bttn and based in England for the duration of the war.
