For many years the fate of Emily Kate Couch's son has been a mystery. I have now found what became of this poor orphan. After his parents' deaths the child was cared for by his Aunt Margaret, William Glover's sister, who had married Frederick Taylor. They lived in Leeds with Harry Glover.
In WWI John was killed in France and is buried at the Douchy-Les-Ayette British Cemetery. The following is the entry at the War Graves Commission website:
