Filed as MARCHANT in the WW1 Service Records (WO 363):
George Henry MACHENT (or is it?
He married ADA GRANTHAM at St Silas Church, Sheffield on 8 June 1912. GRO Index shows 2 surnames: MACHENT & MAEHENT.
His Service Record shows several variations: MACHANT/MACHENT/MARCHANT.
He was called up 10 Dec 1915, declaring age 28y 5m, born Sheffield.
Served with the West Yorkshires (79619) & was later transferred to the Yorks & Lancs (56050).
Discharged 1919.
His medal is engraved: MACHENT, G H, Pte 79619, 11/West Yorkshire Regt.
I cannot find a birth for a George Henry in the West Riding. Perhaps he is just GEORGE? (Although he married as George H). No Sheffield births for any of the surname variations.

Wife Ada born 3 August 1887 is with him and a record which is entered after George and before Ada is redacted.Sometimes paranoia is just having all the facts.
