• Notes

  Resident at 55 York Road, Southend on Sea at time of marriage. Reputed to have left his family after the birth of his son, therefore it is unlikely that there were any more children. In 1939 he appears to be living with a May Lester in the absence of his wife Nellie. No marriage to this person is recorded. Born at 322 Burdett Road, Limehouse.
