Pre War
Son of Sara Mary (nee BOXWELL) LEARED of Wexford, Ireland, and the late Richard Hughes LEARED.
His parents married 13 November 1867 in the Wexford district. Richard died 23 February 1908 aged 75; Sara died 31 October 1922 aged 80; both in Wexford.
Frank was born 1876 in the Wexford district, and resided in Wexford.
On the 1881 and 1891 Census, he is presumed to be living in Ireland. On the 1901 Census, a farmer aged 25, he was a passenger on board the ship Bellailsa at Bootle-cum-Linacre, Lancs, with one sibling. On the 1911 Census, he is proving elusive.
Wartime Service
He enlisted in London; was entitled to the Victory and British War medals, and died of wounds received in action.
Additional Information
Unfortunately, Frank’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.
