Janet Morris, nee
Frazer was born in Warmfield cum Heath, Yorkshire about 1843. She was the
daughter of a Scot William
Frazer and Yorkshire lass
Hannah, surname not
known. The family had moved to Desborough by the 1861 census.
Charles Morris
was born in Desborough in about 1847, the son of
Charles Morris and
Susannah Crick.
The couple married in 1869. They had 9 (known) children and at least 25
grandchildren. Of their 13 grandsons of military age 6 were killed serving in the
Great War.
Clifford Coe
had enlisted in 1915, lying about his age, and was dismissed after a few
months when the lie was found out. His later service record is missing, so
it is not known when he re-enlisted. Clifford's elder brother
Walter served in a
non-combatant unit set up for conscientious objectors.
