His birth years contradict from 1878 and 1882 in the 1939 register. In the 1901 census it is likely his correct birth year is portrayed. I think he was born in 1882 and lied about his age because his wife was older than him. His birth name is Roland Ernest: Roland Ernest Last name Harmer Birth year 1882 Birth quarter 3 Mother's maiden name Sharpe District Eastbourne County Sussex Country England Volume 2B Page 87 Record set England & Wales Births 1837-2006
