Notes
The Roll lists his address as 147 New England, which was inaccurate. (That was the address of a different Peterborough casualty of the same surname). It misrecords his surname as "Quincy".
(CWGC records that Private D. Quincey, regimental number 19676, died aged 27 on 18/10/1917 serving in 25th Company of the Machine Gun Corps, and is buried in grave VI.B.14A in Mont Huon Military Cemetery at Le Treport in France. They record him as the son of John and Mary Quincey of 28 Westwood Row, Peterborough. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects records him as David Quincey, that he died of wounds on 18/10/1917, and that his father John was his legatee. The Medal Rolls record that he initially served in the Northamptonshire Regiment under regimental number 8790, with which he went to France on 6/11/1914, and under which his 1914 Star medal was issued; his British and Victory medals were issued under the Machine Gun Corps. Although CWGC record his mother's name as Mary, her name was actually Mercy; the marriage of David's parents, John Quincey and Mercy Cliffe, was registered in Peterborough District in 1890. David's birth was registered in Peterborough District in 1891. On the 1891 census he was recorded as one month old, living with his parents John and Mercy Quincey at 116 New England, Peterborough. On the 1901 census he was aged 10, living with his parents at 106 GNR Cottages, New England, Peterborough. On the 1911 census his parents were still at that address, while David himself was recorded as "Davey" Quincey, serving in Malta as a Private with the 2nd Battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment. When his death was announced in the Peterborough Advertiser on 3/11/1917, David was stated to have been serving in the Army for 12 years by the time of his death; his parents' address was reported as Old Westwood Row, Peterborough).
