Thanks Adele1.

Gortonboy, I believe that he is related to me as I have a number of relatives born in Ingatestone and the surrounding area. On this basis, yes, I think his father was Charles Daniel Dann but I believe he was born in 1870. What makes you say 1873? I am trying to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that the Thomas Dann in SDGW & CWGC is Thomas Charles Dann, Charles' son.
