He attended King Edward VII School before joining Blackpool Grammar School from 1923 until 1928. He was the son of Norman and Annie Critchley of Palatine Road, and the husband of Margaret. He trained at St Georges Hospital after leaving school. He died on Thursday 26th October 1939 aged 29 (very early in the War and probably part of the BEF), and lies in St Andre Communal Cemetery, Nord, France.'
