Home: Colts Hall Cottages, Cavendish, Suffolk (1891), Bridge Farm Cottages, Long Melford (1911 to 1939). Occupation: Horseman on Farm for Messrs Stafford Allen & Sons (1911 to 1939). Married: Anna Kate Piper in 1906. Service Record: At the Melford Military Service Tribunal in May 1916 Frank applied for exemption. The military representative said Ince was not working in the national interest, nevertheless the Tribunal granted him a conditional exemption. In September he was again before the Tribunal 1916, this time being granted exemption for only two months. As no further deferment appears to have been given, conscription should have followed in November, however no definitive military has been found. Died: Sudbury, Suffolk in 1942.[1]
