To find his birth and parentage etc - you will have to buy a copy of the 1919 marriage cert to get his fathers details

freebmd has a birth reg in Bury St Edmunds in the December qtr 1882

and living next door are George & Mary Ann King with the rest of the family plus one year old daughter Edith

George occupation is now labourer

[CaroleW]

In 1901 Samuel is with parents George and Mary A and 2 additional siblings.

Frederick P aged 3 and Sophia 2mths

George is a bricklayers labourer

In 1902 - his sister Eliza married George Bull and in 1911 his sister Edith married Henry Collins

(And if his father isn't George - I'm going to kick myself for doing all this without waiting for the marriage cert details)
