• Notes

  The School admission data on Reginald says he started school 4/2/07 and left 9/1/12 with the comment "Father dead - Mother removed to London" At the time of the 1921 Census, he is working in the pub run by Percy Bird and Annie (nee Webb). So there is not a very straight forward connection, but it suggests that through his mother, a connection to the family was maintained. At the 1939 Register there is also a Mary Maud PETRE (originally Reginald J ALLEN), married, dob 12/8/08, but can find no record of a marriage between her and Reginald
