sad news of the death of her husband on Wednesday. The official
letter stated that Gunner Charles F Healey, Siege Battery, RA, was
killed in action on July 20th. Gunner Healey was the son of Mr. Healey,

Either Private 34169 Machine Gun Corps
Or Private 154583 Royal Army Medical Corps

George was born about 1897 in London
His mother was possibly Helen Mary Skinner who was born in

His father (or more likely step-father) was George William
Henson.
Information from Kings Cliffe Heritage suggests that George
Herman was in a cavalry regiment before and during WW1. No

Equally George Herman is said to have three sisters, Helen,
Patricia and Dorothy.
Our first glimpse of this quartet is in the 1901 census at 45, St

appear to be living with the Heathorns as adoptees. The 1911
census suggest that this is a not uncommon practice for the
Heathorns.
In 1911 we find 49-year-old George William Henson, a married
