Henry Ellis Hoad

[desperance]

Damn. This is further to my last:

arkessian checked the 1901 census, and found a Henry E Hoad born in Westgate in 1897: exactly the right age, exactly the right location. Hurrah!

Prompted by papersky, I checked records of soldiers killed in the First World War.

And found a record of one Henry Ellis Hoad, of Newcastle on Tyne. The site wouldn't tell me anything more without I paid up money, which I am reluctant to do; but even so...

Sigh.

I wonder if he might have other family who would want that letter. They might be traceable through the census and a bit of determination.

Is possible. Also, I guess the letter and the photos go together. I might poke about a bit.

Let me know if you want anything else looking up, otherwise I'll stop bombarding your journal with data!

I don't know what to look for, let alone where to look. I am more grateful than I can say, for what you've done already.

To be honest, it has diverted me completely from what I was supposed to do today. Which is a very good thing. So thank *you*.

Yay. Me too, somewhat.
