Address was “S/S from Liverpool”; occupation Saddler. It is noted he is Mute. Note says “Pass Over brother 25 Little Strand Street” Seemed he had lost his job.

museumtom Posted 26 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 26 March , 2019 Hello Mark, you do not give a name? Do you Burke/Bourke? He was a career soldier and in his info it does not say he was a mute or a saddler. Thank you for trying Mark it is very much appreciated. Kind regards. Tom.

ss002d6252 Posted 27 March , 2019 Share Posted 27 March , 2019 Leslie Crawford, I read it as (perhaps Norton as a middle name ?) Can't see anything obvious although I'm on my phone Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 27 March , 2019 Share Posted 27 March , 2019 1 hour ago, museumtom said: This lad has me stumped, can you help please? On the 1911 census, there's a Leslie Crawford boarding at the correct address, (45 Lower Georges Street). He was a 29-year-old gardener, born Cork. However, I can't find his birth, or see him on the 1901. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 27 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 27 March , 2019 Thanks lads I thought it might be Leslie Preston Crawford, but who knows it could be Norton as well. I did see him in the 1911 Census but not in the 1901 nor could I find a birth cert for him. He is a real mystery. Thank you for all your help, you are keeping me on the straight and narrow!
