Worcestershire / Re: Capt BERNARD CAVE-BROWNE-CAVE 1917.
« on: Tuesday 21 May 24 16:55 BST (UK)  »
A bit of a snag. Find a Grave records him at Stretton-en -le Field - (St Michael's Church). Unfortunately the church is no longer in use and the building is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. But neither they, nor the Leicestershire Records Office, are able to determine the whereabouts of the Burial Register for St Michael's. This info is vital in satisfying CWGC that his burial place should be designated as a War Grave.
So, next question. Does anyone have any idea where the Burial Register for St Michael's might be found??

Worcestershire / Capt BERNARD CAVE-BROWNE-CAVE 1917.
« on: Monday 13 May 24 14:33 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the burial place of Capt Bernard Cave-Brown-Cave , Wiltshire Regt who died on 4/5 April 1917.
Bernard was born at Osborn House, Great Malvern in 1868. He was the son of Ambrose Sneyd Cave-Browne and his wife Caroline Mary Ann Elizabeth (nee Saurin). It is understood that he died at Christchurch, Hampshire.
Bernard's death was attributable to his wartime service but sadly he was never commemorated as War Dead. If proof of burial can be found,  a case can be made to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to have his resting-place designated as a War Grave.
Can anyone out there offer any help?

In the absence of any evidence to the contrary I am going to assume that he is buried in Switzerland. My grateful thanks to everybody who responded to my query.

Lancashire / DAVID BROWN, Wigan, WW1 1920
« on: Friday 10 May 24 22:59 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the grave of a Wigan soldier who died in 1920.

DAVID BROWN died on 11 April 1920 after serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery. Age 44, service number 114162. My information is very sketchy but the address which keeps cropping up is 11 Marylebone Place , Wigan which appears to have been the address of his sister Rebecca. Another source says that he was the son of Andrew Brown of Wigan but I have no firm evidence to back that up.
David Brown is one of the "forgotten soldiers" who, sadly. was never commemorated as War Dead. Can anyone suggest where David may be buried? Any help woyld be appreciated.

London and Middlesex / CHARLES EDWARD BERBRIDGE WW1
« on: Friday 10 May 24 22:32 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find a "forgotten soldier" of WW1.

CHARLES EDWARD BERBRIDGE, died 2 Mar 1921 after serving with the RASC. Aged 24, he was the son of Edward and Alice Berbridge of Fulham.
Charles had at least 8 siblings - Rose Alice, William George, Lily, Florence, Henry James, Ethel Maud, Edith Mabel and Frederick Harold. All were born in Fulham as was their father, Edward. In 1911, Edward was working with the Gas Works Carbonizing Dept.
Charles' service records show addresses at 22 Harwood Terrace and 12 Pearscroft Road - probably parental homes.  It appears that Charles was recently married and may have been living at Ashbourne Grove, E. Dulwich at the time of his death.
Charles' death was attributable to his war service but he was never commemorated as War Dead. Can anyone tell me where he is buried.? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Durham / Henry BILCLIFF
« on: Tuesday 07 May 24 23:09 BST (UK)  »
Henry Bilcliff died on 28 Sept 1919 after serving with the Durham Light Infantry; he had been discharged (probably medical)earlier that year. His surviving service records tell us little except that his wife was Agnes Bilcliff with an address at 28 Barlow, Blaydon-on Tyne.  i am anxious to find out where Henry Bilcliff is buried.
Can anyone help?
