• Notes

  Possible findings in Electoral Registers: 1906-1908 :- 1, Arlesford Road, Clapham Rd, Stockwell 1911, 12, :- 52, Temperley Rd, Balham (cf census) 1913, 14, 15 :- 41, Tantallon Road, Wandsworth 1927, 28, 29, 30 :- 5, Shipka Road, Balham +4 others, but no wife 1931 :- 5, Shipka Road, Balham - no wife present Possible probate then has him at 5, Shipka Road, death 23/4/1932, which is consistent with other data. The only puzzling thing is that probate went to Noah MATTHEWS, window cleaner and Henry Mervyn PEER, a joiner. I am wondering if he was estranged from the family....
