Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I have not found a J W Fryer on CWGC, but the following might be relevant, and Grote Street was in the right area of Liverpool:

FRYER, PERCIVAL, Rank:Gunner, Service No: 966192

Additional Information:Son of John William and Martha Fryer, of 14, Grote St., Edge Hill, Liverpool.

I wonder if it could be Percival's father? they had only the two children so that discounts a brother for Percival.

in 1911 they are in 28 Dodge Street, Edge Hill
John William Fryer 40 Railway Labourer Docks born Trowse Norfolk
Martha Amelia Wife 40 married 20 years, four children, two surviving born Norwich Norfolk
Millicent MM daur 20 Single Boot Trade Shop Assistant Wavertree, Liverpool
Percival F son 13 Scholar Wavertree Liverpool

Could there have been an error in the inscription on the memorial? I have put some details of St Cyprian's minute books and a history of he church on the original posting, in case anyone has time to look in LRO for anything about the memorial.

It does recorded J.W. Fryer and P. Fryer

I agree - I failed to see the two Fryers first time round.

Is it possible it could be a Cousin of Percival. I have located the death of P. Fryer father so it is not him, that's what got me going along Nephew and cousin???

I think we will have to wait and see if anything arises from the Newspapers

What was the absolute oldest they were accepted, are we sure we can rule out the father?

I think this is the death of John W Fryer

Deaths Mar 1940
Fryer John W 68 Liverpool S. 8b 489

Definitely not the father, he corresponded with the military in 1918 after his sons death and was a civilian at that time.

Any sign of a cousin?
