Captain W Kendrick RAVC

[Nigel Porter]

Hello,  I have inherited a cigarette case, I assume from my great uncle as he was in the RAVC and it's inscribed 'Presented to Capt.W.Kendrick by the O.C. & Officers of No26 Veterinary Hospital E.E.F.'.  I would like to reunite it with a descendant of Captain Kendrick if possible, but the only reference I can find is in the Cheshire Observer 5th August 1933 where he is reported as the veterinary surgeon for the Cheshire Yeomanry at their camp at Eaton Park.  Can anyone provide any details on him?  I can see his medal details in Ancestry, but nothing personal.  Thanks in anticipation.

William Kendrick, veterinary surgeon, is in the 1939 register at The Laurels in Tarvin, with wife Lizzey D. His birthdate 21 December 1889.

When daughter Elizabeth (Betty) Kendrick married Wilfred George Tremlett October 1937
she is described as the only child of William Kendrick MRCVS and Mrs. Kendrick of The Laurels, Tarvin and the grand daughter of the later James Storrar MRCVS of Chester.

Ref: Chester Observer 23 October 1937
It is a long article with photograph.

So son William 1915 must have died possibly before the 1921 census.
