Armed Forces / 1921 Census
« on: Thursday 13 January 22 13:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I've been researching my husbands tree. His grandfather Arthur Beckett was born in 1904 in Leicester. I've found him on the 1911 census (with his mother's maiden name as surname), and on the 39 register.
I can't find him on the 1921 census but have found an Arthur Beckett but his birth year is 1901. His address is York House, Wigston Magna, in the Army Infantry. The census page has other soldiers on. 2 questions really, could he have lied about his age to get in the army and does anyone know what this York House was. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but any advice or info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Elaine
