Hi All,
Wendy noted this man on the Fallen Men of Salford post. Apparently missing from any Salford Memorials he is also omitted from Manchester Warehouseman & Clerks Orphans' School (WACOS) Memorial in Cheadle Hulme. I can't actually prove that bit though because I've not proven the pupil is the casualty because I can't find his 1891 Census. His father John Hayes married 2nd wife Emma Dean in Hampstead and died in 1892.
I know I am confused so any evidence or help from the forum would be appreciated. Here's my notes:-
14 year old Foundationer on WACOS 1901 Census return. Private 7430 Died of wounds 09/10/1916 Aged 30 London Regiment (London Scottish) 2nd/14th Bn. CHICHESTER CEMETERY Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Hayes; husband of Alys Hayes, of 28, Romney St., Pendleton. Alys arranged the inscription on her husband's grave "Gone but not forgotten from his loving wife and son".They had married in St Johns Church Hr Broughton Salford on 4/5/1912 and had one son Bedford Stuart Kenneth Hayes born 18/9/1912. Initially treated in 42 CCS, he was then transferred Home on 20/9/1916 and Died Graylingwell Military Hospital Chichester He had a Gun Shot Wound to the right thigh, buttocks and abdomen. These wounds took place on 15/9/1916. He left Estate and Effects to his wife Alys. He was a salesman when he had attested in Salford on 8/12/1915 aged 29 yrs 6 mnths and held in Reserve until 5/4/1916 when he was called up for Service in London. Served in France 7/8/1916-20/9/1916.
Thanks in advance

Tim, there was a Francis Stuart Hayes who's birth was registered at Barton upon Irwell in the September quarter of 1886. He is the only child of this name registered in England between 1886 and 1888 (source: Freebmd).
Hope this helps Pete

Pete, If he is the only man of that name born in the period, this confirms the boy on the 1901 Census is the 30 year old who died in Chichester. Thanks for clearing up my thoughts. Tim
