About the memorial: Additional wording to the inscription on a family gravestone. The low grey granite headstone has a shallow triangular arch top, stepped shoulders and decorative panels to each side. The inscription is inlaid in upright capital block lettering. The headstone is presumed to have originally been erected freestanding at the head of the grave but it had fallen or been laid flat and had almost become buried. This could be viewed as a Stone of Remembrance, rather than an Addition to Gravestone, by some who like to pick fault with people's work. As CWGC does not give the place of burial for Civilians and they died in Manchester, the benefit of the doubt has been given as to whether or not this is their actual grave. The way to definitively resolve that question would be to check the burial register, but this record is worthwhile as they are not commemorated on the Parish WW2 memorial (WMO/293944) or the Civic Memorial (WMO/150674). They lived at 37 Parksway, Pendlebury but died in an air raid at Danesway, Pendlebury. Kenneth, at the age of 15 (CWGC) or 16 (gravestone) was in the Air Training Corps. It is east of the church, near the eastern boundary hedge.
