Thank you, so I have the correct Sidney, was beginning to wonder.  But where was he in 1911 maybe abroad.

But where was he in 1911 maybe abroad.

Sorry but he has got to be the one in Surrey,  his two sons mentioned on his Army record are also with him.

Part of his Army record seems to imply he was in the Reserves from 9.7.1909 and re-engaged 15.2.1913. 

I suspect that he may not have married Edith Creasey.  There is no mention of it on his service record.

Rosie,  I guess I have to accept the 1911 census. Although I can find Sidney on the earlier census living with his parents but no sign of a Sidney Frederick, only entry I could find was a Frederick F born 1902.

Thank you for your help

Just out of interest and it does confirm that the 2 sons on the 1911 do belong to Sidney.  Both sons moved to Leicester very likely with Sidney and Harriett, pity the 1921 census is not out yet,

Think I've found Harriet (as Talbot) in 1911 working at the same type of place as Sidney works
