Notes - Marries Amelia Mary WOODWARD 12/7/1896 at St Stephens, Hammersmith. At the 1911 Census they have had no children, and given that Amelia is 47 by this stage, probably did not have any children after that. She probably died in 1947 in Battersea, which is consistent with her husband's death location in 1953
