My Great Grandmothers brother Bill Summerell is shown as living at Long Row North on the 1911 Census. During WW1 he served in the local territorial battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers, went to France in June 1915 and died of wounds on the 22nd of February 1916. He is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery Poperinge, Belgium.

Commonwealth War Graves Entry


Unfortunately his name was spelt wrong on the Radcliffe War Memorial - he is recorded on there as W. Summerville.

The family originated from the South Wales area.
