Research Notes

His first name was registered at birth as "Laurence", but there are many examples where we see "Lawrence" used. Sticking with the name as originally registered for now.

Grave marker clearly shows his date of birth as 14.8.1906 but this appears to be in error as his birth registration is in 1905.
