There are currently two WW1 death plaques for sale on ebay. This one is to CSM E Williams.This one to David Forrest.CWGC shows the following:   Both men lived at 130 Fitzwarren St, Edward was married to Mary E Williams, and David Forrest's mother is also Mary E. Are Mary E Williams and Mary Ellen Forrest the same woman? |

I think the Red Cross letter telling of the death of CSM Edward Williams' death may be of interest to some of the forum members.  |

Great stuff Ben.
The Forrest family were living at 71 West Craven St in 1901:
David Forrest 50
Mary E Forrest 50
Elizabeth Forrest 25
William Forrest 18
David Forrest 12
Mary Ellen Forrest 11
So Edward Williams and David Forrest were brother-in-laws.
