WILLIAM DAW
1879 – 1948
William was born in November 1879 in Widecombe to Nathaniel Daw and Nancy Tremain French. He had two brothers (Thomas and Richard) and four sisters (Elizabeth Ann, Edith, Florence and Annie). The family originally lived at Lower Dunstone (1881 Census) but by 1911 had moved to Buckland-in-the-Moor.
William married Nancy Hern in 1916 but we have not been able to find details of any subsequent family.
It is believed William enlisted in the Army Service Corps in 1916 but no further detail has become available to amplify his armed service.
William and Nancy Daw both died in 1948 within three months of one another and are buried in St Pancras churchyard.
