There's no argument about what it appears to say.  If it was real, surely he would show up with that birthplace in earlier years. :)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Thanks Geoff.

As you said before, a misspelling. It`s the correct entry, he was one of my grandmother`s 10 siblings.

I`ve just taken another look at his attestation paper and at the top it says No 110 Newark so it matches with the census of 1911

I`ve found more variations of the spelling of Worlaby.

I was looking at someone else from Worlaby and came across Werelby and Moolaby !
