Notes
Simon, known as Sam, was the son of James Myerscough & Betty Maden. 

There is some confusion as to Sam's date of death. 
According to the Commonwealth War Grave Commission , 
he died on the 27th June 1915.
The Index of War Dead 1914 - 1928 shows his death as 1915. 
However 'Soldiers Who Died in the Great War' 
and his own Memorial card show that he died 26th June 1916. 

Sam's  Memorial Card
Samuel Myerscough was awarded 
the Victory Medal & British War Medal & 1914 Star
