the 1881 census shows his place of birth as Stoke Poges with parents John and Elizabeth. In 1901 it gives Slough. He was then a private at the Duke of Wellington Barracks in London. I think these barracks were on Kings Rd Chelsea. Julie

Eton is one of those places that has moved counties. In the local government reform of 1974, Buckinghamshire lost Slough and Eton to Berkshire.
