Frank Morton

Name: Moreton Y Address: 56 Sparrow Terrace P Patrol: Wolf Age: 14

Frank Morton (spelled incorrectly in the book) was born on 18th December 1893 in Wolstanton to James and Mary Morton. James was born in Audlem and Mary in Chester and they had four children.

According to the 1901 Census they were living at 56 Sparrow Terrace and James was employed as a Gardener (although it is difficult to read). By 1908 when Frank was a Scout the family are still living at 56 Sparrow Terrace.

After 1908 we lose track of the family, they had moved by the 1911 Census, except that Frank’s brother James was killed on 13th April 1918 aged 31 while serving in the Army in France (although his parent’s address is recorded as Sparrow Terrace).

The only other thing we know about Frank is that he passed away while still living in Newcastle in June 1979 aged 85.
