Arthur Herbert BOORMAN
« on: Saturday 12 February 22 23:15 GMT (UK) »
ARTHUR HERBERT BOORMAN died on 7 Nov 1916 after service with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. At time of death he was living with his wife Emily Jane at 34 Ker Street, Devonport.
Arthur is believed to have been born in Gibraltar c 1870.  In 1911, Arthur and Emily Jane and 3 children were living in Tredegar, South Wales where he was a County Court Bailiff. Presumably the family moved to Devonport (possibly Emily Jane's home town) at some date between 1911 and 1916.
Can anyone tell me where Arthur Herbert Boorman is buried?  Any help appreciated.

There is an entry on the GRO armed forces & overseas index that would fit a Gibraltar birth for Arthur.   His service records are online and confirm his place of birth.

Arthur married Emily Jane Pethick in Stoke Damerel 15 Mar 1903.
