Default Henry Hebron

I picked up two more WW1 memorial plaques for soldiers on the Broomhill/Chevington memorial the other week.

You look for years with no luck then TWO arrive the same day!!

Anyway, one of these plaques commemorates HENRY HEBRON:

Hebron is buried in Chevington Cemetery, which obviously means he was moved back to the UK and died here:

I applied for his death certificate, which shows his home address as:

of Togston Terrace, Broom Hill, by Ackllington, Northumberland,

Private in 3rd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers

(General Labourer)



General Labourer would be his civilian occupation.
When he moved from his overseas service battalion (The 1/5th Northumberland Fusiliers according to the Commonwealth war Graves Commission) he would be transferred on paper to the 3rd (Depot) Battalion.



He died on the 16th of July 1916 in the Corporation of Middlesbrough Small Pox Hospital, Hemlington Middlesbrough.

cause of death is recorded as:

(1) Shrapnel wound to shoulder
(2) Acute Lobar Pneumonia, Acute Meningitis.

Now it's the next step, finding him on the 1911 census, I'm having a little difficulty with.

Am I doing something wrong? he was 27 in 1916 so birth would be about 1889.

Can anyone find him?

It looks like he is living at Hirst, 81 Pont Street, step son of John Thomas Liddle (born Radcliffe). The births of the children show a fairly mobile family....Radcliffe, Pegswood etc. He could have married a Mary Best in 1913. You might be hitting problems as Findmy Past have him as Henry Liddle in 1911.

I am pretty sure he was serving in the 1st/7th battalion at the outset of the war. I was in touch with his nephew Henry Hebron Liddle until recently. He was living in St Andrews, Fife, but I believe he is recently deceased. I think the Best family connection is correct too.
