• Notes

  He appears in the membership for the Royal York (Freemason) Lodge in Brighton as a draper. Joined in 1907, resigned in 1915. He is not apparent at a number of Census dates. Looking at for instance 1921, he appears in the electoral rolls for George St., Hove, but with his "abode" at 46, Cambridge Road, Hove in the Autumn list, and 4, Preston Park Avenue, Brighton (identical to 1911 Census) at the Spring list. There appears to be nobody in Cambridge Road, and somebody completely different at Preston Park Ave. I can find no obvious data on sailings to other countries. Burial stone says he was known as "Tom" He appears to be unmarried. Will went to Barclays Bank and Sidney James PETERS, retired bank manager (for Barclays?)
