On 8 January 1915, the "Stockport Advertiser" published a list of servicemen from the parish of St Paul, Heaton Moor. One of these was "G Hays Hurst", supposedly serving in the 16th Battalion, Manchester Regiment. I'm failing lamentably to identify him, either on military or civil records, and would appreciate any input.
Heaton Moor, on the outskirts of Stockport, was in Cheshire, but came under Heaton Norris (Lancashire) registration sub-district. Having searched for others on the list, I can say that spelling wasn't always accurate, and in addition the microfilm I consulted was of poor quality, so the name may not be 100% accurate. :/
