London and Middlesex / Harris Pelta b 1894 (+- one year)
« on: Sunday 26 May 24 12:30 BST (UK) »
Help me find this man! He is not coming up on Ancestry, FindMyPast or FamilySearch, yet he certainly existed as he was sent to Wormwood Scrubs in March 1917 as a conscientious objector. The Scrubs register says that he was Jewish, born in London and 23 years old.
I think it quite likely that 'Harris' was the clerk's attempt to spell a name he didn't recognise, and 'Pelta' which does exist as a surname could have been 'Pelty'.
Can anyone help??
