Nick,
Not sure if you are interested in those who came from Cheshire, as well as those buried there. If you are, this man was 20 Squadron's first combat fatality:
CATTON, Samuel, Air Mechanic '3994'. Qualified as Observer 22.04.1916, Auth. B213 29.04.1916.
Flying as aerial gunner/observer in FE2B 'A6332', pilot 2/Lt. R D Sampson, on recon over Quesnoy. Attacked by Fokker 'E', shot up, Catton hit in back and leg. Forced landing 1 1/2 miles SW of Poperinghe. Buried Lijssenthoek. Aged 19. Last known address believed to 96 Shaw street, Runcorn.
