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. |
