I am trying to build up a picture of a William Baddeley, born 1890, Burslem, to William and Elizabeth Baddeley (Nee Price.) He was one of four children. William was killed in WW1 in 1918, service number, 64242, Gunner, Royal Garrison Artillery. 319th Siege Battery. He is remembered on most sites including CWGC as simply, W. Baddeley, with no mention of any family. He was in fact married to Beatrice Plant and according to his service record they lived at 84 Junction Road, Leek they had one son William Cyril Baddeley born 1916. He was a drayman and porter on the railways and is also commemorated on some Railway sites and at Stoke-On Trent Railway Station.
Ideally I would like to find a photograph as I intend to record his details on the IWM site, Lives of the First World War. Is this man on anyone's tree?

Thanks

Boy Scout

Have you thought of posting the photograph so that the RootsChat restorers can have a go at it?
