• Notes

  There is no very clear story about what happens after 1911. He is not obviously in the death indices, or in the emigration ones. There are possible incidents in WW1, but this seems unlikely given his age. He might be in a boarding house in Lambeth, with occupation given as "Stoker". Place of birth given as Lambeth, which is suitably vague, albeit correct.
