Kathleen and Reg .... Thanks very much ... the 1891 looks right. Not sure about the 1901 though. Thanks anyway for your trouble. Mike

He's the only one that comes up on the 1901, and I'm pretty sure Bashy is mistranscribed from Bushey, and Walford from Watford. Kath. x

Perhaps you could look for him yourself on the 1901 PRO site.........if you find anything, post the details so that a search can be made on Ancestry. Reg

Thanks Merry. On reconsidering ... the 1901 could be good ... his son joined the Navy in later years. Thanks a lot Mike
