He died on 27/9/1916 aged 40. Thomas seved in South Africa and Somaliland. His parents were George and Mary Trafford who at that time lived in North Kelsey, Brigg. An address for Thomas that I have been given is 5 Freehold Street Adelaide Street Hull. He was married to Rebecca, whose maiden name was Thompson.
