I am trying to locate the birth of Frederick George WYNTER, a WWI soldier.
He and his family left England in August 1914 for Australia. He subsequently (on 27 Jul 1915) enlisted in the AIF, served on the Western Front, and returned to Australia in 1919. He died (of a war-related condition) on 16 Nov 1925 in Sydney.
In his service dossier, he gives his age at enlistment as 35y 11m, and his place of birth as Cantridge, Cambridgeshire. That points to a birth around Aug 1879.
He married Emma Jane (known as Jennie) DAUNTON in the Parish of Edmonton, Middlesex on 4 Apr 1904. Children were Phillip (c1908), Iris (c1912), Mary (c1915) and Phyllis (aft 1918).
He is listed in the 1911 Census, living at 3 Hinton Rd, Edmonton with Emma and Phillip. His birthplace in the Census is given as Histon, Cambridgeshire, which my map shows is about 5m NW of the centre of Cambridge.
My problems are (1) where in Cambridgeshire is Cantridge, (2) when was Fred born, and who were his parents, and (3) was he born in Cantridge or Histon?
I can't find an obvious match for his birth in FreeBMD. I have looked under both WYNTER and WINTER (the family is listed under WINTER in the 1911 Census, and their 1914 voyage to Australia).
Any hints appreciated.
