Thanks Potty
Yes quite odd that there are two records.
He was born 14th June 1896.

Hi Rootgatherer
Amelia France is on my grandfathers birth certificate and is his mother.
No idea why they didn't marry until 1915 - baffled me as well.
Up until then they'd obviously pretended to be married.
Maybe to disguise children born out of wedlock - don't think either were married before.

No I can't find Albert Alexanders birth either.
I don't know what's going on with this family!!
Nothing on his military records about his family except address at 22 Cleveland St.

Marriage is in 1915 to Amelia Turton a bit of a mystery why they waited.
I've got WGH birth certificate and Amelia France is down as his mother.
Obviously back at No 22 with his parents in 1920.
Yes he was down as a butcher on his military records which was news to me.
He did work in the family undertaking business for a while but didn't like it.
He also was a driver for Bourne & Hollingsworth.
YEs he was and he was the sole beneficiary of his fathers will but decided to share it equally with his two brothers.
Charles was a nice guy but Albert wasn't.
No idea why he wasn't acknowledged just know he spent his early years away at Thaxted in Essex.
Perhaps he was with someone from his mothers family.
