This blog is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother's brother. Our family has begun research into two members of our family who died in World War 1 Herbert and Frank Woodhouse my grandfather's uncle. Both are commemorated in the King's Book in York Minster.
Herbert was born in Daventry on 22.9.1883 the son of William John Worley a shoemaker and Ellen (nee Nicholson) Ellen died in 1915 and William in 1934 in York and were buried in York cemetery. They had 13 children but sadly the Worley name has now died out.
My grandmother Phyllis was the youngest of the family a twin of Frank born 19.8.1894 and she died 15.1.1965. She inherited the remaining artefacts from Harold and kept a small notebook with cuttings of the death notices of the family so that they could be prayed for. There are 2 albums of photographs which my mother carefully labelled presumably in consultation with my father and possibly my aunt Nellie. The family were Wesleyan Methodist and lived in the Priory Street area, York. Herbert in civilian clothes.
