Ty for the info. Ive realised its because I thought there was a son called Ebenezer Charles and Charles E? but they are the same person. In 1911 it shows as Ebenezer Charles so I thought there was another son called Charles but obviously its the same person.

Silly me
Sorry to waste your time!

thanks for your help

Can some kind person look up on the 1939 register please.

Im trying to find Charles E Snelling married Cecilia M Foss in 1935. She was born 1904. I cannot trace his birth anywhere. Ive looked at 1911 census and his father is Charles Snelling born 1873 .The family lived in the Brighton area.

So wondering if he can be traced in 1939 it may give his age?

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
