Is this your Horace's birth?

Births Mar 1888 (>99%)
SPILLING Horace Norwich 4b 150

What is the birthplace of the chap in prison?

thanks but when you look at the census it says 83 so I am confused.

Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other Transcript Original page
INSTITUTION SPILLING HORACE M 1858 53 Isle of Wight Hampshire

Someone has made a slip up. The Horace shown to be in prison is recorded as 53 not 83

It is of course perfectly possible that a transcription error has occurred.

Searching for Horace Spilling, I have found him on the 1911 census but it has trancribed his year of birth as 1858 but his age in prison in 1911 is 83 so something is wrong there.The Horace I am looking for was a musician the same as the one in prison but born c1888 he married in 1909 a Katie Oconner his brother Henry was a witness his father was Alfred Spilling. Can anyone help? Can I find out what the horace in prison did, he seems a great age to be a prisoner if he was 83. I can only find a birth reg in 1888 4b 150 Norwich can anyone find his parents for me?
