    3. Hi all new to the list and wondering if anyone can help. Found this on the net. Witton Kenworthy DALTON "Named on Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Roll of Honour, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England. Youngest son of the late Wilton Dalton (manager of the Gainsborough branch of the Sheffield Bank, of Morton). Embarked on HMAS Beltana 9.11.15 at Sydney. Lived in Wilcannia NSW. Remembered on a family headstone in North Warren Cemetery, Gainsborough? Also of his son? Missing in France July 19th 1915 R.I.P?" I wonder if anyone has a list of headstones for that cemetery. Would like to know what the transcription says. As far as I know Witton never married. I dont know how or when he got to Australia to join up in 1915. He died in 1916 (not 1915 as above) I am actually trying to find if any family members are still around Lincolnshire. Both his father and grandfather were Witton. His mother's family, the Taylors, come from Sheffield, and have tracked back to Edna Kenworthy married William Taylor, a merchant from Brussels. And further back her parents. William Kenworthy married Sophia ? about 1800. And there it ends. Happy for any help with resources in Lincolnshire regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW
