Unlikely that the info can be found

I doubt that he would have appeared on an ER (google electoral franchise to see why) and there wouldn't be any other records available.

In the extremely unlikely event that he was eligible to vote, you'd have to know the address at which he was registered to be able to search

It may simply be that he married a woman whose birthplace was Abergavenny..................what was his occupation? Would that have entailed moving around the country?

Did he really marry when he was 9? I guess not!

Puzzled

You give his name as James J Sharpe but the marriage in 1910 in Abergavenny does not give any middle initial

Do you actually have the marriage cert?

Annette,

Have you looked who to see was at 36 merthyr rd abergavenny in 1911?

What about tracking down James' siblings and parents to see where they were in 1911? Might give you a clue as to why he left Battersea.

Why did you say he was in Battersea in 1901? Your email to me also says he was born in Battersea in 1888.
