Pre War
Son of Frank and Ada Florence (nee HART) DANIELS of Watford.
His parents married 1895 in the Bethnal Green, London, district. Frank died 1933 in Watford aged 61, and was buried 28 February in Vicarage Road Cemetery, Watford; Ada died 1945 in Watford aged 72, and was buried 29 December, also in Vicarage Road Cemetery.
Cecil was born 1900 in Ilford, Essex.
On the 1901 Census, aged 1 he lived in 1 High Street, Camden Place, Rickmansworth, with his parents and two siblings. Frank was a Butler (Domestic).
In 1911, now with eight children, they were at 86 Hagden Lane, Watford, and Frank had become a House Decorator. Cecil, age 11, was at school.
Wartime Service
He enlisted in
Hertford.
Cecil did not qualify for the Victory and British Medals and
therefore had been in the army less than six months and had not served
overseas. He died in Fulham Military Hospital. Nothing else has been traced so
far.
Additional Information
Unfortunately, Cecil’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.
