Walter Ernest Goddard Owen
Iam seeking information on my Great Grandfather Walter Ernest Goddard Owen. He was born about 1876 and was a joiner by trade.He joined the Green Howards regiment and fought in the Boar War. He married Nellie Wield 26th March 1910 in Higher Openshaw Nr Manchester. He must have left the army by this time because he is listed as a joiner.
During the 1st World War he joined the Manchester Regiment.
I have no information regarding his family except his fathers name was John Owen an Iron Worker and he was deceased by the time Walter was married. I understand he mayhave come from the Birmingham area possibly Aston.
I hope someone can help
Regards
Fiona
