In the 1891 I cannot see an Ernest Ste*ens born 1882 +/- 1, either born in Northants (which is where Newton Bromswold is situated, not Beds) or with a father Joseph.

Same in 1901

There's only one birth in 1882 in Northants of an Ernest Stevens, in Dec quarter in Northampton registration district, but Newton Bromswold isn't in that registration district.

I can't see a death of an Ernest Stevens on CWGC site, but as the war ended in 1918 it's possible that he died later from injuries sustained in the war.

Do you have his marriage certificate?

This Ernest [that Nanny Jan tells us about] is listed on the Rushden War Memorial [which is online] & he may be listed on the Newton B memorial if his parents still were there in the early 1920s when the names for the memorials were being collected - it is not unusual for men to be listed on more than one place [but Newton B is not online so I can not say].

You can download a digital copy of his Military history from UK National Archives for £3.50 - as he died in England [after hostilities ceased]  I expect he was in the Military hospital at Aldershot for a while before succombing to his injuries...see the CWGC site and that will give you his army number.

Ps:  The names were being collected as soon as the Great War ended it seems and the Memorials were going up from late 1919 onwards...sometimes the widows had remarried so often they are listed as 'formerly ...' etc.  Every village and town has one as we know & I wish I knew more about how it was arranged.  I dont think it is in the local papers as it was a common occurance?
