Private George Gooderham
« on: Wednesday 24 October 18 10:48 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out a bit more about Private George Gooderham ~ 15490, 4th Bn., Grenadier Guards. Died on 11 September 1916. Remembered with Honour Thiepval Memorial (CWGC).

Was he the son of John & Florence Gooderham who were living in Mellis in 1901. Son George H Gooderham age 6 (c1895).

Thanks in advance
K
