Gill Bent Road, Cheadle Heath.   Frank A. Punch

1976 in the Congleton & Crewe R.D. - ref: 35/587 -
aged: 82 (he was born on the 23rd June 1894).

CWGC - of 35 Albert Road, Whalley Range. Son of T.
Punch, and of Mrs. B. H. Punch. Died at 35 Albert
Road.

Death registered during the March quarter 1941 in

Relative - Donald Punch informs me that the family
actually resided at ALNESS Road, Whalley Range NOT
Albert Road as stated by the CWGC.    However, it
appears that Albert Road, Whalley Range was
renamed Alness Road sometime after WW2, which it
is to this day.
