Notes - He attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Barnet from 20/1/1910 to 19/12/1912, from where he went (according to the school records) to Norman Court School, New Barnet. He came from "Miss Brown's (Preparatory)" school.
He married Edna A PUDAN from Leicester 5/6/1928 at the Martyrs Parish Church, Leicester. She is not with him at the 1939 Register
Although I cannot find him in the 1921 Census, he does seem to appear in lots of newspaper articles.
The Barnet Press (etc) of 5/5/1906 reports that at the Industrial Exhibition in the previous week, he was awarded the prize for the most notable exhibit - a drawing of a kangaroo. At the Industrial Exhibition in 1909 he won 2 awards - for a plasticine model and drawing.
The Market Harborough and Midland Mail of 22/7/1927 reports that he was fined for "driving a motor car without a licence, at Great Bowden, on 15th June". In mitigation his barister said that he had "been abroad and overlooked that fact that his licence had expired". Was he abroad in 1921?
I have found him reported as best man for weddings in 1927 and 1939. Perhaps he was a fun person to listen to....
