Died 25 May 1917 · Aged 39*

Age discrepancy: Age 39 is used here from the AVC master research register and Find a Grave memorial 153235168. The memorial’s account of the 1911 census gives age 36 in that year, inconsistent with age 39 at death in 1917. The original census remains unchecked. We have not been able to confirm which age is correct.
