Yes Malky you have my "man" his first wife died when her son was 3.  If you look at the census for 1901 i think he is again living with his parents.  The son Walter Cannell was my grandfather who had a brother Alf.  There was a stepson but I do not know much about him in fact until I started to research did not in fact know his wifes name  

And yes it does look like that medal in fact we have a loose ribbon that i think goes with it that is similar to the pic.

thank you both for your info it is great.

Thank you Susan - I am going to look around the rim to see if there is a name on it and yes i think it is an original i am not sure as most medals i thought were about 1 in diameter and this is only and 1/2 inch.

Flattybasher9 - I have only assumed this is his medal card as I believe he was in the Cheshire Regiment although i need to check with my mother.  it is definitely not HR Cannell as my relative was Henry Partington Cannell.  Will have to do a bit more research.

Thank you too Forester for your info re the 7th Battalion.

Wow  thank you ciderdrinker that is the one as my grandfather was descended from Henry Partington Cannel the 17 yo clerk in the census you rock.
