What’s the birthdate though (from what you say you’ve found a possible registration)?

Found it: Charles R Burton, mmn Burton, Mar qtr 1919 Wakefield.

What’s known about Charles Rowell Burton?

To me nothing, I’ve only come across him on someone else’s ancestry tree, also with no further information.

I suspect that he’s not even a Rowell - Burton if I’m honest. The birth entry shows Charles R only and MMN as Burton when in fact it would be Morgan (although I am aware they weren’t shy of telling a lie or two back in the day).

Mother’s maiden name is also indexed as Burton on Harvey’s birth registration.

You’re right, it is so very possibly a brother and worth looking into further.

Someone else has also pointed me in the direction for a trial of a H Rowell, a private in the KOYLI (fits so far).

I signed up to get the info and he was sentenced on the 1/1/1917 to 56 days for doing awol and was held at Hedon.

‘My’ Harvey Snr married Margaret on 5/3/1917 so all the dates fit.

It’s ever so strange there is nothing else.

Thank you for your help this far 😊

Where is the trial record, and does it yield a service number for him?

It’s on fold3 through Ancestry. Unfortunatley no service number 😫

I know this is a bit early but there is a London baptism for a Harvey Rowell son of Harriet Rowell  5th Jan 1884, St John’s Wood St Mark Westminster

I don’t see a birth to match though

I’ve seen that thank you, I really don’t think it’s him although there’s no real indication either way!

Other than Harvey Jnr I think it’s the only entry for the birth of a Harvey Rowell though.

I’ve even considered Harvey isn’t even his given name which is why I’m at such a brick wall.
