Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 201 Send Message	Thanks to you all, I think where I have gone wrong is on the 1911 census it states his parents as Henry Board 1869 wife Florence Woolfreys 1869. I can’t find Alberts birth also. So assuming I’m wrong with the above which I think I now am, my tree is completely wrong :-(
