Sapper
William Newell
1453-S Royal Marines
Born in Ripon
Lodging at 24 Belford Street in 1911
I had always assumed that he had moved
to Burnley after the Great War until I saw, on the Mundia family tree
site, that he was listed as a boarder in Burnley in 1911. So if he left
home at 18 he would have come to Burnley in 1907.
He married my grandmother in 1924 then moved to Clitheroe Rd Brierfield
followed by Lord St Brierfield where he died in 1941.
