Life History

Notes

• Frank would most definitely have been named after his Uncle Frank the brother of his father. We have always been told that Frank was ran over outside his home on Christmas Day just two days before his third birthday. This must have been a really tragic Christmas for the Hookway household. As I was growing up I only ever heard my father Ernest and his brother Richard Henry (a.k.a. Harry) talk of Frank. I really wanted to find a grave for Frank, purely because neither my dad or his brother had managed to do this, however, this was never to happen. After searching Weaste Cemetery myself, I finally gave in and asked for a grave search to be done for me. This search also included Agecroft Cemetery. I was to learn that Frank had been buried in Common Grave and with him being a child, his burial was not recorded. The strange thing is I now know of this happening on two occasions.
