Notes
The Roll lists his address as 158 Rogers Street. It records his forenames as Joseph William, which differs from all official records.
(CWGC records that Lance Corporal William Dolby, regimental number 3/10918, died aged 39 on 9/5/1915 while serving in the 1st Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, and is commemorated on Le Touret Memorial in France. They record him as the son of Thomas & Hannah Dolby of West Street, Helpston, Peterborough, and the husband of Frances E Dolby of 158 Clarence Road, Peterborough. [In 1923 Rogers Street in Peterborough was officially renamed Clarence Road]. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects also recorded him as William Dolby, as did Soldiers Died in the Great War, which stated he was a native of Helpston. Both his birth and his baptism at Helpston were recorded as William Dolby, and he appeared as such on all census returns).
