Assurance Assitant Superintendant

[littlefacey]

In 1910 my gg grandfather George Felton was listed as a Assurance Assistant Superintendent in Leyton, Essex and wondered what this job might involve? I know he was a devote Christian and later became known Superintendent for Salvation Army so im guessing thats who he was working for in 1901.


Thank in advance x

I think he would be working for a Life Assurance company, assisting the Life Assurance Superintendent.

Hi would that be 1901 rather than 1910??
George is 34 bn Bow London, married no wife listed 2 boys both born Plaistowe.

Sorry yeah meant 1901 not 1910!

What would a life insurance assistant do?

So i've just found out that George was an Assurance Assistant Superintendent for the Salvation  Army and not an Insurance Company.
He became a District Superintendent with the Salvation Army Assurance Society.

So still with a Life Assurance company - just that it's the Salvation Army one!
