Parents of Private William Broadway
« on: Friday 23 October 15 13:03 BST (UK) »
Looking for parent(s) of Edward William Albert Broadway, b 1895, Watlington, Oxon.
William lived with his aunt Emma Wise in Watlington as a child.
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of William's death at the age of 21 on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

The best way is to obtain his birth certificate if he doesn't appear on census with a mother or father.

Mar 1895
Henley 3a 845
Broadway Edward William A
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos

Thanks Milliepede

I suspect that Edward B may be William's father as Edward died unmarried and they share a common forename.

But there was also potentially other unmarried siblings of Edward B who were James and Alice E.
