This corresponds with the 1911 census entry for Henry, showing him at this address aged 46 with his wife Elizabeth (40) and their children Herbert (22), a Teaching Assistant, Walter (21), Edith (20) and Frederick (18).

Service DetailsBrother of Frederick Charles Hind
Inscribed on the panel of the civic memorial which lists those men who died after the initial panels had been inscribed, this man is listed as 'Hind, H. H.'.
Checking the online CWGC register, one 'H H Hind' is reported. He died on 7th February 1921 and is buried at Eccleston (Christ Church) Churchyard. I think that his South Lancs Regiment service number of 4960 was issued around February or March of 1916.
Checking at the churchyard, his headstone (pictured below), shows him as 'Herbert H Hind', the husband of Lily Hind, also showing his age as 32, therefore being born sometime around 1889.
His service is commemorated on the Methodist Church Roll of Honour
At this point in time, I have no details of Herbert's service or the reason for his death.
