Thanks ladies. Not just his lying about his father, but also his own occupation - I mean his bride must have known he was a policeman, surely?

If I am in funds I shall have to send for likely death certs. I don't think he can be the chap who died 1911, because even if his death was registered very early in April, his widow would have had to be very quick off the mark to get a job and ship her daughter off to her parents - unless he'd been ill some time and was unable to work, of course!
