I can see no error in Daniel's recorded ages. The birth date recorded on the 1939 Register is correct, 17 Feb 1888 and he died, aged 52, on 19 Nov 1940, as confirmed by the National Probate Calendar.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your thoughts.

Marilyn confirms your description of the property though having taken a second look at the 1939 Register I see that Daniel's brother was living at 52 at the time so maybe what she took to have once been one large house was always two. She was most interested to learn that a member of the family was involved in the 1953 coronation celebrations. She was only four at the time and has little or no memory of it.

Thanks again,

Keith

freebmd has his death in 1940 as age 59

Thanks Chempat but it's obvious that that is mathematically impossible.

Keith. from Marilyn's description of the internal architecture it's clear that Nos 52 and 54 were originally a single dwelling which must have been divided well before the war.

Happy Christmas to you both,

Keith

Hi Barry, Your name rings a bell.  I am sure my Dad mentions you when we talk about Little Green Lane.  His name is Dan Jackson.  My Mum lived in LGN her name was Linda Garrett (now Jackson).
