Get in touch so I can explain my family’s WWI connection

-

I AM related to one of the WW1 soldiers named on the Nicholson Memorial.

He is listed as Private John Goodwin, however, my family research has shown that, at birth, he was registered not as John Goodwin, but as John Frost.

The 1911 census records them living at 21 Getliffes Yard, Derby Street, Leek, together with Ann Jane’s other children, Sampson Hollinshea­d Frost and Harry Frost.

Ann Jane later had two daughters, Mary and Alice. If my research is correct, all the children married; Sampson to Gladys Rowlands, Harry to Edith James, Mary to Frederick Hansell and Alice to Ralph Johnson.

I would very much like to contact any descendant­s of Ann Jane Frost’s children, so that I may explain our family connection and share the informatio­n I have gathered regarding Private John Goodwin.

I can be contacted on 01538 361068. Terry Booth Leek
