  • Henry Orritt BAGSHAW was born in the December quarter 1884, the oldest son of William (Farmer) & Maria (nee Orritt) Bagshaw of Beet Farm, Burbage. He was baptised on the 8th March 1885 at Burbage Church, and had two younger brothers, Leonard and William. (1901 Census RG 13/3271). He married Alice Hawks in the December quarter 1904, registered at Chapel-en-le-Frith, so possibly in the same Church. The couple moved to Greetham, Oakham, Rutland. (1911 Census) Henry was working as a 'Cowman', the couple had 6 children, Robert, Mary Kathleen, Leonard, Bertha, Jessie and Charles (who died as a baby in 1919). Henry enlisted in the Royal Army Medical Corps and his Regimental No was 49995. He was posted to France on the 25th July 1915. He died in the December quarter 1921 - too late for inclusion in CWGC records, which had a cut-off date of 31 August 1921, or for the Burbage Obelisk Memorial, but was included on the Memorial Plaque inside the Church.
