Hello Maddie .
Thank you for your reply.

I have all the information on him up until his death 30 march 1917.

The 1911 census shows him born Mattingley, Hampshire it was Transposed with his wifes place of birth Swallowfield Berkshire. I did correct it.

Alan.

Hello Maddie.

The information you sent me yesterday I did not have a chance to check it as we had friends arrive.

This morning when I read it it is about a burial for a George Allen burial 24 Jan 1917 not April 1917.

Could you please have another look for me

Shown in the paper as :-
