WOW - Thanks everyone.

Sorry for my delayed response but I have been away for the long weekend.
What a great surprise to get this when I got home.

I believe we now have all men accounted for. I will try and put this in some order and may come back for some more information.

Thanks you all once again.

Hi,

Kenneth William KENNEDY's address when he enlisted in 1916 was Mananagtang where he was a farm labourer, his next of kin was his wife, Rose Ellen KENNEDY, High street, Charlton.

1917 Commonwealth Electoral Roll
KENNEDY, Rose Ellen, Charlton, home duties.
KENNEDY, Kenneth William, Post Office, Mananagtang, labourer.

1919, Commonwealth Electoral Roll
KENNEDY, Rose Ellen, Charlton, home duties.
KENNEDY, Kenneth William, Post Office, Mananagtang, labourer

Just to add,

I stated the following in my previous.

"Kenneth William KENNEDY's address when he enlisted in 1916 was Mananagtang where he was a farm labourer, his next of kin was his wife, Rose Ellen KENNEDY, High street, Charlton."

He actually enlisted as William Kenneth Kennedy and it looks like he was single when he enlisted in 1916 naming his mother, Mary Kennedy as his next of kin, his father was deceased, this was changed later to his wife, Rose Ellen Kennedy.

Thanks Gerry

William Kenneth Kennedy did marry Rose Ellen Gibney in 1916 - around the time of his enlistment.
No children born to this couple until 1919 when they had a son Bernard William who died the same year and is buried in the Charlton Cemetery.

It is interesting that the 1917 electoral roll still has him at Mangantang while he would have have overseas at this time.

I believe his enlistment attestation paper understates his age by 2 years (born 1878) which is confirmed by his death in 1944 aged 65.

Thanks again, Dale
