Deptford appears as Kent in most old census (or Kenya, if you get certain ancestry transcribers). Islington would be over the other side of the river.

Thankyou so much Gweneth. I cross ref the free Bmd entry you found with family search and that was the right one! Percival sydney warren was born 19 nov 1897, he was a boy soldier and just 17 when he died, two months after his 19 yr old brother . how sad. But what hero's grateful thanks Pat

Hi everyone thank so much for your replies. I looked on family search and free bmd. he is on the 1901 census thats where i took the birth year from. I must say though hadn't though of him may be being a Percival so will look into that one. Thanks so much again Pat

Deptford is in Kent/London. Considered to be London now though.

Please could someone see if they could find the birth entry for this young man please: PERCY WARREN born 1898c in Deptford (reg districts probably lewisham or greenwich) I am really desparate to find this out as he was killed at the battle of Loos in 1915 and I am sure he was underage. I feel really connected to this one who was my second cousin. I'd appreciate any help at all Thanks Pat
