Do you have his full date of birth?

Gins I have seen this,thats fine but where is or where did he go.I haven't a clue,not even on 1911 census bob

Have you ruled out this one?

If the details on that death registration are correct, then I think it must be him as this is the only birth that ties in with the DOB

Webb Reginald Faringdon 2c 279

Gins off ancestry between April and June 1892,he is 8 yrs old on 1901 census Bob

Gins, Bugger in a nice way ?how did I miss that,Swindon is only abt 30 miles from Longworth.Ithink I was looking in the wrong place,thrown by the Canadian Army thing.Many thanks for that Bob

:-D

Gins make my day find him in 1911 census Bob xx

I looked at this one earlier but discounted it due to the occupation, but having thought on, he might have gone into engineering during his service?

Heres the ref for the census record

I used the same site. I had 'checked' Canadian record only at the bottom of the search box

This looks like him going out. He give his arrival on the 1911 census as '1911'

As the travel date is March, he would have missed the UK 1911 census as that was taken in April
