CWGC - of 3 New Hall Street, Pendlebury. Wife of
Herbert Unsworth. Died at 3 New Hall Street. 3
Hall Street was a link road containing just four
houses and situated between Hopwood Street and
Cavendish Street. Hall Street no longer has a
street name plate
Her mother in law - Sarah jane Unsworth is not
listed on her son and daughter-in-law's headstone
at St Augustine’s Churchyard, Pendlebury.
Headstone states Headstone states "Killed by Enemy
Action". It is believed that she was buried in
the same churchyard with her husband - Edward
Unsworth who died in 1914.
Keith Smith informed us that Sarah's son - Herbert
was the third of Edward and Sarah Jane's six sons.
"My grandfather was her second son Samuel
(1885-1966). Her fifth son was Harold (b. 1896)
who played rugby for Swinton RLFC in the early
1920s."
Another relative - Phillip Pearce in Australia,
informs me that Herbert and Elizabeth lived in
London and were employed at a battery factory
there. They were only visiting Manchester to stay
with Herbert's mother - Sarah Jane Unsworth, over
the Christmas holidays - an unfortunate case of
being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
