ID# 8, b. 29 July 1894, d. 29 May 1976
Albert Dearnley
(1894-1976)
(1894-1976)
Born at 93 Platting Lane, Balderstone, Rochdale - "The Royal Oak" pub (see his father's notes).
Ran Off License/General Stores that was his mothers (137 Crawford Street)
October 1920 - double Wedding with sister Mary.
About 1930 worked for the Eagle Spinning Company (AED)
Lived in Harehills, Leeds area with Ede,
Later in Flat in Bramley, Leeds 12 Snowden Close
**********************************************************************
During WW1 he was first in the cavalry (until the horses ran out) & then was a signaller. He was gassed in 1917 while sleeping. He and his fellows woke up blind and remained so for 2/3 months. He convalesced at Squires Gate, Blackpool. To check if they were fit enough to go back to the front they were asked to run round a field twice. This was a continuous process. Their pulse & breathing were then measured. An old veteran told him to run around four times, that way he would get another month's convalesce. I have no information whether he did! Elsie Pack was working on munitions in London and he met her on his way back to the front. AD was a Cotton Spinner in the Eagle Mill from 1918 to early 1930's. He also helped in his mother's General stores in the evenings.

******************************************************************************************
from Daniel Stramara's notes:
Albert had served in the Great War and unfortunately was right in the midst of events [probably the Third Battle of Ypres at Passchendaele]. Many soldiers were trapped in the mud quagmire. In 1917/18 Albert and his comrades were shelled and gassed behind the lines [probably mustard gas]. Everyone in the cellar was overcome by the mustard gas and suffered temporary blindness except the officer on the top bunk. This officer led the soldiers out in a caterpillar formation, he serving as the head and each one holding onto the other. They made it to the field hospital and from there were transported to Blighty. Albert did not recover his sight for several months. He spent several months on sick leave. He was on his way back to France, passing through London when Armistice was declared.
While in London, Albert met Elsie Pack who had been working on munitions at the Woolwich Arsenal. They fell in love and moved back to his home city of Rochdale.
Albert was a mule spinner in the cotton mills for the majority of his working life and later collected & recycled mill parts with a colleague (collecting & repairing bobbins & packing cases).
He later went to work in the grocery and Off-Licence run by his mother. - (Death Certificate records "Retired Packing Case Maker" although he never actually made a packing case, but repaired them - MED)
Albert married Elsie at St. Peter's Church in Newbold, Rochdale, Lancashire in a double wedding with his sister.
After Albert's wife died in 1959, he moved in with his son Albert and family. After two to three years he moved to Leeds where he married his Elsie's sister, Ede. She too preceded him in death.
Albert was a member of the Church of England and worshipped at St. Peter's in Rochdale. He had ginger coloured hair and light eyes. He spoke with a broad accent. His favorite food was pigs trotters and tripe. He also liked black pudding.
Albert was cremated.
