Lyn the 1911 census mentions Cothridge Parish, thats where his future wife lived its also states that his job was farm labourer, so was his wifes father.
For those who haven't yet discovered the 'Snip' feature in Windows 10, which actually works when posting on this forum (although not on many others),
Press the buttons Windows + Shift + S and the screen becomes shaded with an option of 'shapes' appearing at the top. You then select a 'shape' [square] to copy selected text to the Clipboard which is then 'pasted' [to the Reply field] using Ctrl + V
I used it for Posts #3 and #5. It is a lot quicker (and less fiddly) than highlighting text and using Ctrl + C to save to the Clipboard inasmuch that you effectively capturing an image rather than text.

In that case, I'd be searching the GRO Index for a Drinkwater Birth with a MMN of Williams.

dont have world wide subs on ancestry to view all the info but found this says buried in france and a middle name beginning with P..could be nothing of course

The piece about the Silver star could be relevant, he may have died from his wounds.,

OK just trying to establish if there were any extra complications. The problem is - if he died of war wounds it could have been anywhere in the country. If he got the silver badge, my understanding is, he did not die abroad. It was given so people in this country would know they had already fought. That said they used hospitals all over the place and he might not have come back to his home.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Just to finally exclude the James Drinkwater mentioned by Lyn in post #24, all the James Drinkwaters travelling to North America from 1890 onwards travelled AFTER the date of this guy's death. In fact the only James Drinkwater travelling before that date was going to Freemantle, Australia in 1900. So I think that we can be certain that the CWGC death in 1917 is not in the picture.
