1889 May 27. Born Lancs. I suspect he was the illegitimate son of Lydia in 1911 census, but there is no proof. The name is too common to get beyond verifying his MC and bar
1911 census He is not at 436 Beverley Rd, Hull, (the address on his MIC) but Pearsons are. They are probably his grandparents rather than his parents. The family seem mainly to have been railway clerks.
1916 Dec 21. Landed in France
1917 Nov 29. Commissioned 2nd Lt in Royal Fusiliers
