Hello, looking for any other information on william edward burt, born 1891 in Southampton.  Father George burt mother Alice Julia burt, I only have his military career on the 1911 census, ordinary seaman. Where was the 1911 census taken and is it possible to find anything else about his life. Thank you

I have found the 1911 Census with William and it records him as being 18 so his date of birth will be around 1893.

The census records him as William G Burt, Ordinary Seaman, Born Southampton. . If that is correct this could be him. 

Hi is on HMS Superb in 1911.

The 1911 Census above is not William. The attached has his father George and his mother Alice listed. William is shown as a Carman Builder Merchant not serving in the RN.

In the 1921 Census William is not serving either and living at home with his parents.
