I wonder whether any old photos of the memorial exist, from before it was repaired?

I was going to say 'I think actually Harriet was his step-mum'.

and that this is his mum:

Deaths Jun 1897
Gillvray Hannah Maria 39 Sheffield 9c 383

and these are his parents:

Marriages Jun 1875
BICKERDIKE David Doncaster 9c 796
BICKERDINE David Doncaster 9c 796
GILLVRAY Jonathan Sissons Doncaster 9c 796 <<<<<<<<<
GILLVRAY Jonathon Sissons Doncaster 9c 796
HOLMES Susannah Doncaster 9c 796
Marsh Hannah Maria Doncaster 9c 796 <<<<<<<<<<<

BUT as there's no birth reg I can see for Leslie in the name Gillvray and there's no marriage for Jonathan to Harriet (the Jonathan who married in Q2 1901 is not the same man as I found him in 1911 and he was only 31 then), I'm wondering is Harriet is actually Leslie's mother and his birth reg is in her previous name? That would make more sense with the wording of the CWGC entry.

In 1911 Jonathan is living with his dau Dallas (not a very Victorian name, is it?!) and Harriet is living in a different household with Leslie but he isn't down as 'son', but then he's not down as 'stepson' either, so that's a confusion.

You probably don't want to know all this anyway, but once I've started and there's something odd, I can't stop! lol

Well, I have to go out shortly so may stop now!! lol

Doh, Harriet isn't head of house, so that explains why Leslie isn't son or stepson etc!

Thanks Merry, no wonder I couldn't find him!

I've just realised that more had been added, I had only read Merry's first post when I replied.
It is a bit confusing with him in the census, as I thought he was with Jonathan & Hannah. The name Waring features on the list of those who survived, & they could be relatives.
I know that the damage to the memorial happened in 1995 & have seen the brief news report that said there was a lot of damage, which I had been surprised about as the memorial is clearly legible.
I am certainly going to have to do some more digging & maybe see if some locals can remember.

Well having spoken to someone at the church today, it would appear that the damage to the memorial was actually the theft of lights from the Lychgate where the memorial is housed, which obviously not affect the names on the tablet. I am now no further forward with my search for Corporal Bradbury, although I do think I have now identified all the other men listed.
