Edit: 31 July 2024 - visited today and spotted that a new (to me) panel had been added with an additional name. See photo above.

Pearson Thomas Elijah 19417 Private

6th Bat. York & Lancaster Regiment.
KIA 29/9/1916.

 

Thomas Elijah Pearson's name does not appear on the Cudworth war memorial at St John's Church although he had two children born in Cudworth in 1912 and 1914 and was still living in Cudworth when he enlisted in  March 1915. He had been born in Denaby and was still living there in the 1911 census. His widow Beatrice remarried in late 1917 and at some point before the 1921 census she and her children moved to Mexborough where E T Pearson IS commemorated on Mexborough's war memorial. As Cudworth's war memorial was erected in 1920 it is likely that she had moved away from Cudworth before names were collected for that war memorial. Mexborough war memorial was unveiled in November 1922.
