Could this be him and then changed his name.Seeing as no exact birth is showing up and 1889 ties in with death record.

Alfred John H May born Oct 1889 Farnham Surrey 2a 110 maybe the H was for Hedges!!

1911 Hartley Witney Aldershot barracks
Alfred John May soldier single born @ 1891 in Aldershot. emuneration district 13
On 1901 census with parents Alfred 1850 and Martha May nee Winter 1851 it says Alfred born Aldershot 1890,but on 1891 with same parents it says born Farnham .

Aldershot/Farnham same area!

Minnie Rose Lough in 1911 Hartley Witney Emuneration District 6

Hi have now received marriage cert for Alfred Matthew William Hedges May and Minnie Rose Lough, on this cert it says that his father's name was Matthew William May, he was deceased when my grandparents marriage took place in 1911 Alfred was in a West Riding battalian so was he born in Yorkshire, still can't find any details, where did the Hedges come from was it his Mother's maiden name who knows I certainly don't
any help would be appreciated

On the other thread Alfred's father's occupation is possibly Insurance Clerk but apparently the writing is difficult to read.

Hope that helps Mary.
