searching for HERBERT DEXTER

[petrseaford]

well maybe in 1918 people were tolerant .
My family is Roman Catholic and could not accept me marring outside the church in 1962.
Nana worked as a cleaner and worked in and around Footscray.

Is there a Military Services Club where service men registered for social activities.

I have sent an email to Nottinghamshire Council to see if they are aware of a list of men from the townships of the shire who served in WW1.

That man in Nottingham looks good if only

Found the Attestation Papers for the soldier in my post above:  Herbert Manson Dexter Number 654029.

Residence:  Blyth, Ontario
Birth Place:  Hullett Tp. Ontario, Canada
Married:  No
NOK:  Mother  Emma Jane Dexter
Birth:  August 20, 1890
Occupation:  Laborer
Papers dated:  December 28, 1915

I think the other fellow heading to Nottingham is a better bet.

Could someone else check out the Herbert living in Nottingham North, District 9 on the 1901 England Census please.  I think it says his occupation is Lace Warehouse (?) worker.  His mother Syliva is shown as a Hosiery Warehouse (?) worker.

I think we may have him Peter.

The only mention I could find for Yorkshire on this thread was a record for a Hubert Dexter-

I have only been able to find this one but he was born yorkshire note the spelling
Hubert Dexter born 18 2 1889 at Wombwell Yorkshire
mother Emma Dexter
no father listed

Is there some particular reason you thought the East Yorkshire website would be helpful, Peter?

I had a look at the 1901 census for Herbert Dexter born 1889 +/- 20 years! There are only 15 of them. Obviously some are too young to have an occupation, so I looked at their father's occupations and none bore any resemblance to lace working. Not that this means anything, but it's all I could think to do with nothing else to go on. 

Anyhow the only one remotely connected to anything like lace making was the one Carol already found and I suspect it's the same one in the 1911 that Bilge found. By the way Bilge - was that 1911 Herbert Dexter married?.

Here he is anyway:

1901
23 Stratton(?) St
Nottingham
RG13/3173/187/29

(all born Nottingham)

Sarah Y or J Dexter head wid 58
Thomas son single 32 hosiery warehouseman
William H son single 28 do
Herbert son s 25 lace do (so lace warehouseman? not exactly a maker  )
Annie E daur 19 hosiery machinist
Ada daur15 shirt maker
Herbert son single 25 lace

We really need to get an idea of the year of birth of Peter's Herbert Dexter.

Dolly I think you'll find the Nottingham one is this one that Ruskie typed up earlier today

that east yorkshire site is interested in RFC and RAF  personnel that's all .

[aghadowey]

Not sure where that information is on the site but it's likely that they might only be interested in local servicemen.
