 I was just curious as Kerrill's post says that the man the enquiry is about died in 1918 in Flanders - and the ages don't match with the age on the CWGC nor, as AllanUK says, with the register of soldiers effects or the pension index cards.

CWGC does have a Matthew Wignall Pte King's Shropshire Light Infantry 1st Bn, service no 7652 who died 14 Nov 1914

ADDED citation on CWGC says he was the brother of Mrs Morrison of 110 Bedford St Preston
1901 census has a sister Margaret for Matthew with parents Matthew and Margaret
marriages Q1 1908 Preston
Margaret Wignall and James Henry Morrison on same page looks likely

the regiment  tallies with the 1911 census on FS that rosie99 posted for Mark/Matthew

I think that we can discount Matthew Wignall KIA 1914. His paperwork records that he was the brother of a Mrs Morrison of 110 Bedford Street, Preston. This lady was Elizabeth Ann Wignall (born 1876, parents Thomas and Elizabeth) married Thomas Morrison in 1901.

damn! That marriage for a Margaret Wignall looked likely, thanks AllanUK

Hi Kerrill
Make sure you read 'all' the replies, as AllanUK has now discounted that 1914 death ( I assume he tracked the address for the Mrs Morrison and found they were not related)

The 1918 death was the wrong age though. Maybe there is something in the local newspaper if it's on line - which might give more info. I'll have a look!

I've just come across this site;

https://livesofthefirstworldwar.iwm.org.uk/community/312/

It's not in alpha order though and has 18 pages - may be worth scrolling through!

Margaret his sister did marry James Morrison and they lived at 110 Bedford street, so thinking Boo was spot on.
