I think Ann's point is that he was at school at the age of four???..presumably taken off the 1911 Census?

All children start school at 4 now....so they should :-D

Eldest was only just 4 when she started but my youngest was nearly 5 so that meant an extra year of play school fees

I started school at 4½


nowt unusual about that in England ...... whether it was back then or now!




I too read it as being the name that Ann couldn't believe a parent would give a child


Just a thought ........ I wonder if King was used in earlier generations in that family?
