http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casua ... E,%20HENRY

In his obituary published 28th June 1915 in the Liverpool Echo it states:-

COLE-16 June, killed in action, aged 20 years. Private H. Cole 8th (Irish) Battalion, King's (Liverpool) Regiment, the dearly beloved son of Johannah and the late Jack Cole, of 32, Northcote Street, Everton.

In his Roll of Honour notices published18th June 1917 I have the following:-

COLE, In loving remembrance of my dear son Harry, killed at Hooge June 16-Never forgotten by his mother and sister Millie-1, Ridley Road

COLE, In loving remembrance of my dear brother Harry Killed at Hooge-Fondly remembered by Alicia and Tom (In France) 1, Manfred Street.

COLE, In loving remembrance of my dear brother Harry, Killed at Hooge, June 16 1915-(To memory ever dear) Lizzie and Frank

His Roll of honour notices for 1916 mention Mother and sisters Nellie, Lizzie and Nan

Also one from his brother Willie and Sister in law Esther.

Henry's Service records show up FMP and from these I was able to get the following information.

Mother of the soldier-Hannah Cole, 32, Northcote Street

Brother of soldier-Half-blood- T. E. Mason-aged 27-1, Manfred Street

Sisters of the soldier

Half-blood-Nellie Bockford? aged 36? 1, Ridley Road
Half-blood-E. Williams aged 32-1, Ridley Road
Half-blood-J. Walker-aged 30-32, Northcote Street
This document was dated 14th April 1919.

Now I think I have located the family on the 1901

Piece 3481-folio 53-page 27

Hannah Mason-H-Wid-43-born Ireland
Ellen Mason-D-U-18-born Liverpool
William Mason-S-U-17-born Liverpool
Hannah Mason-D-U-15?-born Liverpool
Thomas Mason-S-U-10-born, Liverpool
Henry Mason-S-U-7-born, Liverpool
Ellen Seery? Visitor-U-14- born, Liverpool

In the soldiers effects register his mother is recorded as Harriet Cole?

So far I have not been able to locate the family on the 1911. Any help would be appreciated.
