Join the club - we've all said that.

Have you found him in the 1911 census, if so what name was he using then? He must have been in Hampshire at some time to have met Minnie, as according to the free 1911 she was there then.

I see he is under the name of Alfred May then and says he was born in Lewisham, which is the opposite side of the river from Poplar. Very strange.

I can't see him either panda, and I can't find the May connection, his mother died as an Allen

Death Record
Helena A Allen
DOB 1866
Age 60
Reg Wandsworth
London
Vol 1d
Page 402

Baptist Record

Helena Amelia Chatterton
3 June 1866
Father John Chatterton
Mother Catherine Chatterton I wonder if she is a May?
Tower Hamlets

I find it strange that his death was registered in both name's so, it was common knowledge that he was know as both?????
