• Notes

  It is not clear what happens after 1901 Census. The details presented here seem to be the most likely. His wife Emily (KING) is clearly here, and the details in this census match the WW1 records. The fact that the 1911 Census records him as coming from Walworth, although living in Hertfordshire is significant, and of course there is a significant family connection with Boxmoor and Hertfordshire more generally.
