Pte. William E. Darby
British Army 13th Batallion Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Gosforth, Newcastle
(d.17th Feb 1917 )
I came across William Darby whilst researching my own relatives. It appears he was the first husband of a relative of mine (his wife went on to marry my relative). I looked into his background and found his grave on a website. It appears he was born in Barnsley in Yorkshire in 1890 but moved to Newcastle to be a miner. He married Beatrice Cuthbertson and went on to have a daughter, Winifred in 1911.
