Thomas Dawtry
10th Bn. York and Lancaster Regiment
29th April 1917, aged 27.
Thomas died leaving a wife, Sarah Ann nee Bywater and 2 children, my father Thomas b. 1911 and a daughter Sarah Ann, b. 1912, all living in Doncaster, Yorkshire.
The Additional information on the CWGC site is rather confusing and incorrect. Grandfather was actually born 19 Nov 1889 in Wigston, Leicestershire and his name registered as Edgar Dawtry HALL. He was the recognised but illegitimate son of Arthur DAWTRY and Elizabeth HALL. Sadly his mother died just days after his birth and he was given to his fathers sister Hannah to raise. Hannah was married to Thomas Bagshaw. Grandfather was known a Thomas Bagshaw until sometime shortly before his marriage when he reverted to his biological father's surname but kept his "new" forename. Hence the confusion over names which I'm sure originated with Sarah Ann not the CWGC.
