Biography

Percy Ralph Seward was born in Wolverton, within the district of Kingsclere, Hampshire in 1883.^[1][2]

By early 1891, the family had moved to Adam and Eve Road, Greenham, Berkshire.^[2][3]

On 16 March that year, Percy was admitted to St Nicholas Church of England School, Newbury, Berkshire.^[3]

On 31 March 1901, aged 19 years, he was working as a Printer's Apprentice and living with his parents and younger sister at Queens Road, Newbury, Berkshire.^[4]

Research Notes

Care is needed as another person with the name Percy Ralph Seward was born the following year, 1884, in Wokingham Berkshire, mother's maiden name NICKLESS.^[5]

Given the above, I have not been able to confidently identify a record for Percy after 1901. If you have any further information, do please update this profie or contact me.
