The army records for Edward Burrows K17212 are on Ancestry.
They give his next of kin as Ellen Sumner (grandmother) of 21 Chorley Road, Heath Charnock, Lancs. In 1911 he is living with his widowed grandmother, Ellen Rothwell nee Moss. I haven't found a remarriage for Ellen, but on that 1911 census there is a boarder named Edward Summer who she could have married or cohabited with. We know Edward was born about Sept 1897. On the first page of the army papers it states he was aged 19 yrs 113 dates (dodgy writing for the days, could be 173) on 21 Sept 1914. That would suggest a birth date of about May/June 1895 or a bit earlier. However, on the following page it says he was discharged 22 Jul 1915 under para 392 (vi) King's Regulations which is "(vi) Having made a mis-statement as to age on enlistment". Also, there is an address recorded for discharge which is the same as Ellen's except number 61 not 21. Up until this point he was only posted as far as Kingsbridge Devon and Swanage Dorset, where he was punished for misdemeanours - laughing in the ranks on parade and absent from a route march. For some reason Ancestry has the doc in the Army Pension records, but I can't see that can be correct!
