Hi Pals

Would anyone be so kind as to look these two guys up please?

CO - E.W. Brighten (born 1880s?)

2/Lt - R.D.J. Brighten (younger brother of the above, born around 1890s?)

A book I have says that in 1915 they are Biggleswade men & would welcome any extra info from the census to confirm please.

Many thanks Pals

Steve :D

1901 census shows younger brother only aged 8 - name is Ralph Dalton Jarvis?

Biggleswade as you say, son of William Green Brighten born Norwick c 1839.

With the latter bit of information its possible to find Edgar W Brighten in Prittlewell, Essex

aged 10. Yet to find him on 1901.

If you want full transcriptions let me know - they'll take a few minutes as they are fairly big households.

In 1901 Edgar W is boarding in a house in Lambeth.
