WILLIAM/WILLIE PANNET(T) PAMPLIN
Remembered with honour Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial: Panel 6 and 8.
He enlisted in Redhill, Surrey; was entitled to the Victory and British War medals, and was presumed killed in action. Unfortunately, William’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.
Son of Jane PAMPLIN; husband of Alice DOVE (formerly PAMPLIN, nee KEMPSHALL) of Redhill.
Jane died 1920 in the Brighton, Sussex, district aged 73.
William was born 1881 in Brighton, and baptised there 13 November 1881. He married 1904 in the Steyning, Sussex, district, and resided in Redhill. Alice remarried 1923 in the Reigate, Surrey, district to Stanley DOVE, and died 1962 in the Surrey S E district aged 82.
On the 1891 Census, he is proving elusive. On the 1901 Census, a compositor aged 19, he lived in Brighton, with his widowed mother and no siblings. On the 1911 Census, a compositor aged 29, he lived in Redhill, with his wife and no children.
