I *think* he may be on the Wales 1911 census as Theodore Slaughter and thats what the T stands for

If I'm correct he's the son of Joseph James Slaughter and FLorence Mary Totterdell, but you'd need to buy the birth or marriage certs to prove it

If you look on Free BMD you will find a birth record for Henry in Dec 1901 Bedwelty.

Hallo Girl Guide
thanks for advice.
Freebmd simply repeats info in ancestry and findmypast, without confirming theodore theory.

Hi Slod Junior,

If you have his marriage cert then you "should" get his father's name.

If you get his birth cert then you "should" get his parents names.

? Is this him . . . . .
Death Reg Dec 1971 Caerleon Mon. 8c 496

Should you not have the certificate, the following is the reference so that it may be ordered . . . . .

Marriage 1931 Dec Bedwellty 11a 222
Henry WT Slaughter / Gwendoline Evans

Assuming that whoever registered his death actually knew his birthdate,
then as his birth was the day before the end of Quarter3, it is fair to assume that the following Q4 registration is his . . . . .

Should you not have his full birth details/certificate then the certificate may be ordered using . . . . .
Birth 1901 QDec Henry William T Slaughter Bedwellty 11a 71
. . . . . giving his parents' details (and what "T" stands for").

Hallo All

perhaps I should remind you all that the problem is proving that henry william t is the same person as theodore.

The rest is history, as the saying goes

Thank you all, again for your help and interest

Hi

You have had, to date, 3x respondents.
All 3 have, in effect, said
"here are the certificate references, order them to find out more"

I certainly look forward to being told what details are on those certificates.
Please publish when you have those details to hand.

Regards
Ray

The only way to confirm my theodore theory is to get the birth certificate
