I am trying to find the records for T J Swindell died 1916 the only one I can find that maybe him  says son of the late Mrs Hudson. Now Toms mother had remarried a Mr Hudson but she didnt die till 1923.
Is it possible the list was made after 1923 ? 
Thanking you in advance Pat

From the CWGC website

"A list of over 660,000 British soldiers (Other Ranks) who died during the Great War was compiled by the War Office and published by His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) in 1921. The list is contained within 80 volumes. The dates covered for casualties are from and including 4th August 1914 to 11th November 1918. Casualties killed after the end of the war until 25th March 1921 are also included in the listing."

I see that T J Swindell was in the Canadian Infantry, does that fit with what you know?

It's possibly just an error about his mother.

about T J Swindell

 This record   ( 2  pages)   has  on 2nd page  a note saying that  the  Menin Reg number  was sent to  Mrs T Hudson of Mayfield  Staffs   The  date it was sent was  29 Jan  1925,   so   maybe the     record    for  TJ Swindell   on CWCG site    was amended after  they  were notified  that  the mother  had  died

I read on the website The Long Long Trail that the battlefields were still being cleared into the 1920s.

I recently saw a CWGC record noting the removal of a name from the Menin Gate - dated 1937 - and it is still going on.  16 recently identified soldiers were buried in Y Farm Cemetery yesterday - many relatives attended the service.

Most of the next of kin names they hold date from the early 1920s, when they were sorting out the cemeteries and memorials - getting epitaphs from relatives and generally keeping them in touch.

If the chap was a Canadian there should be plenty of information online (and free).
