Unmarked grave Joseph William Andrews (1895-1946)
Joseph was born in Berkhamsted on 28 March 1895 to George and Alice Phoebe (née Tarbox) Andrews. He was baptised 24 April that year in St Peter’s. He appears in all census records as William and has been referred to as such here.
His father was a labourer.
In 1901 the family were living at 9, High Street but by 1911 they had moved to
“Lusitania”, 1, Highfield Road. Although now the name of the ship Lusitania immediately brings to mind its sinking by the Germans during World War I, it had been launched in 1906 and was then the largest passenger ship in the world. George was a general labourer at Cooper’s chemical works as was his son John. Florence was a laundry maid and William was a “House boy” at Berkhamsted School.
His mother Alice died in October 1919 and is buried in this cemetery
William married Emily L Scrivener on 21 September 1919 in Berkhamsted and Winifred M was born the next year.
In 1921 the family lived at 3, Provident Place. William was a “labourer (road works)” for Berkhamsted Urban District Council “now out of work” – as were so many recorded in that census.
In 1939 the Register records the family at 1a, Highfield Road. William was a “Scavenger. Heavy work”. Winifred was a labeller at Cooper’s chemical works.
His father died that year and is buried in this cemetery with William’s sister Violet who died in 1929.
William died in 1946.
