204713 Pte. Hugh Kenworthy British Army 11th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers from:Dukinfield (d.16th May 1916) Hugh Kenworthy was my great great grandfather. The family never knew where he was killed and as far as they knew he had no known grave. I have been online today searching the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website and have found that he is buried in a French cemetery in Ecoivres. He was killed at Vimy Ridge on May 16 1916. I have let my mother know and she is going to tell the rest of the family. Hopefully we will be able to visit his grave soon. Hugh left a wife and 8 children, some of whom ended up in the workhouse until rescued by their grandmother. Hugh was not forgotten!! We are trying to find out how he died, although at least we now know where he is.
