Yes Rosie,its still odd,
 as there are 7 missing years for him on Electoral Rolls.
1928,30,31,32,35,36,38.

A search for 172 Burbage Road doesn't get any results for 1928,30,31,32,35, you would need to check to see if the Electoral Roll is online for that address for those years. For 1936 and 1938 the occupants are McDonald and I can't see an result for 1937. The last Todman entry for 172 Burbage that I can find is 1935.

Don't assume that just because he was on the roll that he was in England, he could have just been left on.

Some passengers from India, Australia, the Far East etc travelling home via the Suez Canal would disembark at a Mediterranean Port and travel across Europe by train and Channel ferry. This avoided the Bay of Biscay which was rather notorious for storms, and was also quicker.

One thing I have noticed. When I start a new thread about someone connected or perhaps mentioned (but not the subject person) in an earlier thread of mine and put a link to my older thread, the new post sits in limbo waiting for moderator approval. It can be some time before it appears on the forum.

I think that if a new thread has a website link it is automatically referred to a moderator to ensure it is a genuine post and not spam.

Hi

The link below suggests that that road was called Liverpool Street in the 1920s. This suggests that the reference to Liverpool Road is simply a mistake. How it was made would depend upon the process used at that time to create the Electoral Roll.
