percy george slaughter; born 1881 sheffield ?? yorks

WOW !
i am very impressed with your replies which are very thought-provoking.

who is OP?,  is that myself?.
I expanded my research from my own family to a one-surname-study of Slaughter in England,  independent of GOONS.
because I make my own rules, I include any twigs, branches, trunks or limbs which bear the name SLAUGHTER,   some of my trees contain name-variants which change down the generations, eg slater, slayter slowther slauter etc.
 
The descendants in the 20th cenury use the Slaughter surname, so they qualify for inclusion in my research.

I have published umpteen slaughter and other trees on ancestry,  possibly 80+

Because my only source of data is the internet,  I exercise much caution to prevent inaccurate connections  .being published.    This research resembles a large jigsaw missing many pieces, without a final picture >

I shall certainly explore the leads you have all provided.

I had hoped to attach him to one of my existing trees,   but shall PROBABLY give him his own mini-tree, if it proves to be viable.

Thank you all for your research, help and advice.

Yes, you are the OP (opening poster or similar).

Thanks for the explanation about who you include.

You say that your only source of data is the internet. 
As you are doing a ONS, if you also make connections with people with Slaughters in their trees, do you not try and get copies of any birth, marriage and death information from them, electronically, to help with the veracity of your publications?

Just wondered.

You're welcome.

It doesn't seem as though Percy G had any surviving siblings nor any descendants. (at least any that were born to Helena PACK).

hallo All
Percy George slaughter had one son from Helena Pack= Robert L W born 1943 portsmouth, hampshire who married Jill W Mitchell and might have produced Mark Robert 1974 portsmouth

===========
I have researched the schlothauer suggestion and decided that it is a red herring, as i cannot establish a connection between that family and the slaughters.

I have advised ancestry that the percy george slaughter living with everetts  should be george percy schlothauer.
probably the error of an enumerator who could not read his own writing in his primary notebook/record when he/she transferred it to the official census sheet.

interestingly, george percy schlothauer does not appear in later records ,  was he interred, or became a german spy or what ?

i do examine any evidence which appears in the trees of other researchers, among which i have found too many contradictions and apparent inaccuracies

thank you all for an interesting diversion

There is not a 'connection' - he alters his name to become Percy George Slaughter.  That is why he (schlothauer)  does not appear in later records.

You have also said:
'Percy George Slaughter had one son from Helena Pack= Robert L W born 1943 portsmouth,....'

Surely the Robert LW born in 1943 was from this marriage:
Marriages June quarter  1940 
Beatrice L Pack   Portsmouth    2b   1881   
 Robert A E Slaughter  Portsmouth    2b   1881

Added:
Probably this man:
Robert Albert E Slaughter born 12th October 1917, dies May 2000, Portsmouth

I think you've missed the marriage couple for that Portsmouth one.

NOT Percy and Helena.

PLEASE be very careful and remove the names/details of the (possibly still living) people that you have mentioned.

Sorry-

I was almost done typing my response.
I figured it was OK to post it.

There is a Robert A E Slaughter born Midlothian, 1917, according to Scotlandspeople - could be the Portsmouth death man.

Hallo All, again
I certainly deserve the implied reprimand for considering the allocation of Robert L W  to the Yorkshire parents.

You were correct; I had not come across the Portsmouth marriage; my excuse is that I am covering England county by county in a clockwise direction on a map, (starting from Cornwall),  hence the Yorkshire aspect of my query.

One of your replies includes " alters his name", implying that it is confirmed somewhere, and not a product of logical deduction .  is there any proof ? or confirmation ?
There was certainly a lot of anti-German discrimination in the WW1 era.

The final result of this debate is that I shall leave George Percy and Percy George in my rather large "unallocated data" box  indefinitely.

Again I thank you all.
