COMPLETED Derby war memorials
« on: Sunday 23 January 11 08:24 GMT (UK) »
I am researching William A. Henehan who died in 1915. He was in the Border Regiment and his name is on the Helles memorial in Turkey but I would like to know if his name is also on any war memorial in his home city, Derby. The 1911 census lists him as an apprentice with the Midland Railway and I believe there is a memorial to railway workers on Platform 1 at Derby Station. If anyone is passing either the station or the memorial in the city centre, I'd be most grateful if you could have a look and see if the name is there.
Thank you

I've been informed by a member of the Midland Railway Society that William's name does indeed appear on the railway memorial. Thank you for the kind offer to go and look for me but no longer necessary as I shall have a trip to Derby to see it.

Hi,
William Henehan is also remembered on the war memorial outside St. Giles' Church in Normanton, Derby. I have a photograph that I will post on here when I get home (I'm at work at the moment).
Hope this helps
Richard
