(relating here?)

Chris :)

Wow- Thanks Chris HO- so nothing I gave in 2015 was useful?? And I still don't see where the middle initial J comes from???

So this isn't him in 1901, even though it's the same address as on his marriage??!! His marriage cert lists father as William- following this family back shows his father was William.

married 6/7/1902 Edmonton
middle name James or Edward unsure of which probable James
they lived in Rivulet Road
don't know abou his job

Yes- we've covered that information above, but I don't see any middle initial for him anywhere.

Where do have have the information about his second name being James or Edward? I don't see a middle name on birth, marriage or death records, or on any census, or the 1939 register?!

His military record doesn't give an initial either:

I got his middle names from family unfortunately I have no one to ask now

Well, I'm not sure they gave they correct information, I just don't see any evidence of a middle name.
