Oops I missed one out. Robert was b. Grindleton, Clitheroe, Lancashire, England; he was 26 in Nov 1915; he also had a cousin Pte J. BELL kia
On the 1891 census there is an older sister Florence Maudsley b ca 1887and younger sister Alice b 1890
On the 1901 census he is with his family in Clitheroe.
John Maudsley aged 33 b West Bradford (1868)

William H(enry) 10
Jesse 8 (d Dec 1984 aged 92 Leicester Central)
Catherine 7
Mary (Elizabeth)5
John 3
James (Edgar ) 1
Caroline 1 mo
Thomas Scott f-i-l 69 b Grindleton Yks
From the 1911 census there were the following additional children:-
Fred Douthwaite Maudsley 1907
John Maudsley married Mary Scott in Clitheroe in 1886
Mary Scott appears to be the daughter of Thomas Scott and Catherine Douthwaite who married in Mar qtr 1881 Clitheroe.
Catherine Douthwaite was the daughter of William Douthwaite and Mary Singleton (b Garston ca 1790) who married at Ingleton Yks. on 17 Feb 1811.
Catherine had a bevvy of sisters but I cannot find any substantive pedigree leading from any of them.
Onwards and upwards,
