Topic : Harold Snowden was probably born 1894 |
|
| Peter |
Posted on behalf of Stephen Dexter I am researching our (Grove, Oxfordshire) War Memorial. Private Harold Snowden. I have the following information so far: Harold Snowden is buried in Grove churchyard but is not on a plaque in the church. Harold Snowden was probably born 1894 in either Silsden or Keighley, Yorkshire the son of Charlotte Annie Haytack (registration of birth not found) and probably William Snowden. The 1901 census shows him living with only his mother aged 7, and the 1911 census aged 17 when he was described as a labourer at a bobbin works. Before joining the Army in Morecambe, Lancashire he had been a bobbin-turner. Private Snowden 1718 5th battalion King’s Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment) was killed by a train Monday 19 October 1914 whilst guarding Green Lane railway bridge 500 yards on the Wantage side of Lockinge signal box aged 19 or 20 (death certificate states 19). His address was given as 3 Chapel Street, Silsden, Keighley, Yorkshire. There was an inquest and full details given. I have some more family history about his mother and probable father and details of the inquest. However I am wondering whether he is on Silsden War Memorial or anyone knows anything more about him. Please feel free to forward to people who might help me. |
