1. Arthur William Blackham - died 31 May 1916 age 17 (sad) - SERVICE NO. J/38161. He was a signal boy in the Navy. His grave/memorial is No 13 Plymouth Naval Memorial.

2. H. Blackham (Herbert?) died 12 November 1916 age 26 - Service No. 32147 - he was a Corporal in the Royal Garrison Artillery - his grave/memorial R11.J.3 at Walincourt Halte, British Cemetry, Saulty. Was this in France.

Warlincourt and Saulty are villages on either side of the main road between Arras and Doullens in France.
See https://ww1cemeteries.com/ww1frenchextension/warlincourthalte.htm for the cemetery.

Lloyd the address is Kellinge Street, I think the enumerator had a couple of tries.
