I have this person in my tree, he is my late mothers Great Uncle and wondered if anyone knows if he was connected to or worked in the ammunitions factory at Oare, Faversham? Did he live in Faversham?

A quick look on FreeBMD shows he was born in Faversham and died in Folkestone:

Alfred G Wiles in Elham is a market gardener, his wife assists him with fruit, he name might be Margaret but it's difficult to read as I think an old piece of stickytape has left its mark.

His DOB on that is either 13th or 15th Sept 1872

Soo .... did he work at the Ammunitions Factory in Oare, or live in Faversham? If he did, there are no obvious on-line records to support that.
