What is the source of your 1914 reference?

Please note that RootsChat rules forbid us from giving 1011 census information, due to copyright issues.

However, a simple check on a free index is showing 3 such gentlemen in London?

2 of them are father and son.
Probable Father's marriage:
December qtr 1885
Islington Registration District     vol 1b, page 589

Fewster, John Perritt
Smith, Hannah Ashmore
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

76 - LLoyd George Survey of Land Values, Stratton,Cirencester,Gloucestershire
I was trying to find John Fewster as he inherited a house which had been in the Fewster family at Stratton from about 1850. No I don't know his age and going though  a small number of ancestors a John doesn't appear from the Wiltshire,Gloucestershire ancestors. I expect the will of an Anthony Fewster who died there in 1900 is the only way.
Thank you

I am puzzled as to how this information fits with someone living in Walthamstow?!

And what does "76" refer to?
