• Notes

  Sidney's mother Jessie was a widow at 1861. In 1881 he was living with his aunt, Georgina WEBB, but the view on the internet is that this is a family that originated in Scotland (which ties in with the Civil Service document, below). Some info on the internet implies born 25/6/1859, but nothing found to support this. My document - giving a date a year later - seems more reasonable, though even the age in 1861 Census is then wrong. Note both Sidney's parents have died by 1877 when this document is produced. There is no obvious variant of the name in the BMD registers or on IGI.
