Awkward to assess this from my current location. However, a couple of things jar with me. Infantry Militia in Yorkshire went up to six units, rather than seven.

The 4th West Yorkshire Militia were headquartered in Leeds, there was Brevet Major - substantive rank Captain - & Adjutant H. A. Burton, formerly of the 14th (Buckinghamshire) Regiment.

So at least a couple of variations from the newspaper report.

He possibly remarries in 1901 and 1906 both in Sussex. But not much else.
