Biography
Frank Haywood was born in the spring of 1874 at Rickmansworth. He was one of six children in the family of William and Sarah Haywood – both parents bringing children to the relationship. His younger brother, Arthur, also served in the Great War. In the 1891 and 1901 Census the family lived in Asylum Road, where William worked as a Gardener’s Labourer. By 1901 Frank was working too, as a Gardener.
In the summer of 1906 Frank married Prudence Jordan, and by the time of the 1911 Census the couple lived at 3 Asylum Terrace, and had a Mental Nurse, Ester Farmer, boarding with them. At this time Frank worked as a General Labourer.
Frank was first mentioned in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in November 1918, serving with the Royal Engineers (RE). He continued with this unit through to the end of the War, and was recorded in the Autumn 1918 and Spring 1919 Absent Voter Records serving with the Regimental Ordnance and Transport Depot, Royal Engineers, and giving his address as Asylum Road, Abbots Langley.
Frank Haywood survived the War, as did his brother Arthur.
