Notes

Married Kate in 1888 and then Alice in 1907. At 1911 he had had 9 children

n 1901, his occupation is not clear, but a huller is a person or perhaps a machine for removing the hull from grain. Given his occupation in 1911, this seems reasonable. I think I have found a machine called a huller in the USA in the 1860s, so it reasonable to assume that they would be available in the UK too.

In 1921 there is Frederick Desborough (aged 24y 1m, ie born 1897), a visitor who is a "serving soldier", but it is not obvious who this is. Perhaps a nephew?
