Anyone else think that the MMN should be Bolton for the infant Mary in 1881 ?

Found John and Anne in 1891 - no son Ernest I'm afraid - just Sidney (who was with them in 1881) plus a Florence bc.1882 and a John bc.1890.

Unless John is a bootmaker I doubt it. Ernest was clear about that when he married. I remember that I did find an Ann Andrews in 1891 as a servant and a widower

I see that his place of birth is 'London' in 1921 - born c1887.

On his police record he is more concise ealing 12/12/1885. This ties in when he joined the 1st dragoons in 1905 he stated he was 20.

[PaulineJ]

He may well have fibbed about his age to enlist!
Did he survive to 1939? What date of birth is there?
What age is given on his death registration?

He may have made up his fathers name and occupation, he would not have had to provide any proof of his existence.

He died Oct 1930 in Brighton. All his records seem pretty consistent to 1885. And his police records before and after ww1 show 12/12/1885 . He was a police sergeant  when he died. He worked in the Swansea oil refinery police.
