  Notes	There is a 1939 Register for Ernest Frost, but it gives the DOB as 6/11/1896, which is surely at least partly incorrect. The presumed wife is Hannah, DOB 25/7/1894 which certainly doesn't match Emma Desborough. So this record is ignored.

• Notes

  There are possible BMD index records for birth for both Frederick Ernest and Ernest Frederick. At the moment the EF Frost seems a slightly better location, but will wait for more info before altering the name. The 1891 Census says his parents were Arthur and Amelia. He served in the army as a private in the Middlesex Regiment (?RFA), joining up in 1902, completed in 1904(?) and then from the reserves went to fight with the BEF and discharged 19/8/1915 to 167 South St., Walworth
