[jeanyb]

If anyone has access to England 1911 census I'd be grateful for any information on Albert John Golding and wife Bessie Gertrude (nee Whitehead, born Northleach, Glos) married in 1909. They'd be living somewhere in London.
Many thanks

He was a baker when he enlisted.

[dotty.]

so he served in the grenadier guards then as a policeman but must have been recalled in 1914.

Next of kin on army form given as mother, Annie Kate Ward, 8 Charles Street, Greenhithe, Kent. His marriage to Bessie at Hanover Square registry office in 08.02.09, is also entered on the form. The witnesses were Lilly Whitehead and Bert Boydon.

He certainly moved about Dot - baker, Grenadier guard, policeman.

[dotty.]

register office marriage? unusual for a young couple at that time. unless they had to have a special license due to residency
