William Henry Astin, was a miller and baker, he lived at the Mill in Duddington.

Please can anyone help find William Henry Astin's burial place, and or the cemetery please... because his burial is a complete mystery to his family.  I feel that because William H. Astin was a miller, a baker, and of good standing in his village, there should at least be a burial, and or a mention of this somewhere.

I believe William H Astin was attacked,  or in a brawl at a pub in his village, Duddington, shortly before his demise. I know there was an article (possibly even a death notice?) written in a local newspaper, which I'd like to see please, if you're able to find this as well.

I'll add as much as I can below, on William and his family.

I'd love to see anything you can find relating to William H Astin, and the Mill please... many thanks... in anticipation.

Please can you help expand on my great uncles military record and history.

I have George Jenkins’s WW1 Death Penny

Henry George Cyril Jenkins, was born on 1st July 1893, Cardiff.

~\~

Was Henry 'George' Cyril Jenkins with the 1st or the 11th Devons?

Was the Torbay Hospital a military hospital during WW1, and might it be possible to find out what George's injuries were?

I don't believe there is a Commonwealth War Graves Commissioner grave for George, should there be one?

Is it possible to find out where the 1st / 11th Devonz served and fought over in France?

Does anyone have access to the Keep Military Museum, I believe they have some 'Devons' records?

I haven't been able to find any reference to George's medal 'issue'.

Dear RootsChat Team

Please may I ask a couple of Dawson related questions....

Can anyone please tell me if there's an early births & or baptisms for a Thomas Dawson (occupation - butcher) 1784 (ish) in either Beeston or Bunbury Cheshire

Are there any Thomas Dawson marriages to a Ellen .....? bc1783 (possibly born Bunbury), Ellen Dawson (nee ...?) died April 1817 in Bunbury Cheshire

Also are there any possible children births/baptisms to Thomas & Ellen Dawson up to Ellens death in April 1817

Many thanks - in anticipation
Kind regards
Jed
