The 1891 census says that, at the age of 5, he was living with his family at 135 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth.

The 1911 census says that he was living with his family at 15 Lytton Road, Bournemouth, and working as a postman.

Confidential tells me that he worked with carrier pigeons during the war.

At the time of his marriage, in 1919, he was a soldier and living at 96 Eastcliff Road, Bournemouth.
I have a photo of him around this time where he appears to be wearing a Sergeant-Major's uniform.
